About FarmBuddy
Built around the everyday decisions farmers make.
FarmBuddy is a South African digital farm and extension-support platform created to help farmers keep reliable records, understand local conditions, find market opportunities and receive practical agricultural support.
The platform brings farmers, agricultural advisors, administrators and buyers into connected but role-specific workspaces. It is designed to make useful agricultural information easier to record, understand and act on—especially for smallholder farmers.
