説明

MicroCrop is a community-driven crop insurance platform designed for Kenya’s smallholder farmers. Using smart contracts on Flow and real-time weather data from WeatherXM, it provides fast, automatic payouts when droughts or floods put harvests at risk no paperwork, no middlemen.

MicroCrop makes insurance simple, transparent, and affordable. Policies are owned by the farmers themselves, with premiums up to 60% lower than traditional options. By using blockchain to protect crops and incomes, MicroCrop helps farmers stay resilient in the face of climate change and brings fairness to a system that’s too often left them behind.
