We serve small-scale farmers in West Africa by sending a daily forecast provided in partnership with major telecommunication firms and agricultural B2B organisations.<\/p>\n We started in 2010 as a new research team in physics & meteorology, gathered from different renowned universities and research institutions such as NASA. We set out to tackle the difficult problem of accurately predicting weather in the tropics. It wasn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n After years of painstaking efforts in developing the algorithms and model, we finally had something we wanted to test in the field. Our first trial in 2013 offered 3,400 small-scale farmers in Ghana seasonal, monthly and daily weather forecasts. A mere eight farmers opted out of the service during the season and our accuracy rate was measured at 82%, as compared to the current standard of 39%.<\/p>\n We made it \u2013 a reliable tropical weather forecast was born!<\/p>\n RECRUITMENT PRIVACY POLICY<\/strong><\/p>\n Ignitia (\u201cWe\u201d, \u201cUs\u201d) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
