Design a Satellite-Powered Crop Monitoring Tool for Smallholder Farmers in Kano State

Kano State has over 1.2 million smallholder farming households, most cultivating under 2 hectares of land. They face recurring losses from drought stress, pest damage, and soil degradation, yet they have almost no access to agronomic data. Satellite indices like NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) can detect crop stress weeks before visible damage appears, but the tools that use this data are built for large commercial farms in Europe and the US. Your task is to design a product concept for a satellite-powered crop monitoring service targeted at Kano farmers. The product must work on basic Android smartphones or via SMS, because most users in this region do not have reliable internet or high-end devices. Think carefully about language: Hausa is the primary language here, and most users are not technically literate. Build and submit: a product strategy document, a set of low-fidelity wireframes (at least 5 screens), and a one-page business model canvas showing how the service could be financially sustained. You can use free tools like Figma, Canva, or even hand-drawn and scanned screens. Strong work will show real understanding of the farming calendar in northern Nigeria, will name specific usability constraints (connectivity, literacy, device type), and will propose a distribution or adoption strategy grounded in how farmers in Kano actually access information, whether through cooperatives, input dealers, or extension officers.
