EcoShade Climate

Prepare. Respond. Recover. Build resilience.

A climate agronomist on the farmer's phone. EcoShade reads the forecast, the satellite and the field, says what to do today, and turns every recommendation into a task.

One week of flood, drought or heat can cost a smallholder the whole season. The warning usually comes too late, in the wrong language, as a forecast instead of a plan. EcoShade turns it into a plan.

01

Prepare

Know what is coming to this field, this week.

A risk engine reads the 7-day forecast, the last 30 days of rain, the slope of the land and satellite crop health. The whole farm gets one status, and at most three alerts, each with its timing and the one thing to do.

Next 7 days

Action needed

A serious risk is coming. Act today.

02

Respond

When the shock hits, help comes first.

The farmer picks what happened. EcoShade gives two to four things to do right now, then asks only the questions that change the plan: has water reached the field, is the crop flowering, can you still irrigate.

  • Flood
  • Drought
  • Extreme heat
  • Frost
  • Hail & storm
  • Landslide
  • Pest & disease
  • Not sure
  1. Keep people and animals away from moving water.
  2. Switch off pumps and electrics near the water.
  3. Move seed and fertiliser to higher ground.

03

Recover

A plan that turns into tasks.

Now, the next 72 hours, the next two weeks, and before next time. One tap puts the whole plan in Tasks. Closed cases become the farm's resilience history, a record for insurers and support programmes.

  1. 1Now

    Keep people and animals away from moving water

    Open shallow cuts to drain the field

  2. 2Next 72 hours

    Check where water is still standing

    Record the damaged area for support

  3. 31–2 weeks

    Check roots and stems for rot

    Decide on replanting with an extension officer

  4. 4Before next time

    Dig drains along the contour

    Ask about flood-tolerant varieties

04

Build resilience

Carbon, without the hype.

Practices that hold water and carbon in the soil today, and the dated evidence an eligible, verified project would need tomorrow. Carbon income is a potential pathway, never a promise.
