We want to create original content, explore, and eventually find answers to the following fundamental questions:  

• When to plant? 
• What to plant?
• Where to sell? 

However, the lack of data is apparent. It's the first problem to solve. To that end the challenge 2 team decided to launch a MASSIVE DATA COLLECTION ACTION. 

1. Economic layer:  Nigeria - Akaninyene Obot, uteeakan@gmail.com

• food output demand: regional food consumption monthly data  for demand forecast 
• areas high return products
• cooperative and agro-dealers presence: Data on cooperatives and agriculture dealers (this can be county level ) we can use GIS for analysis proximity & access needs
• etc.

 2. Farms layer: Kenya -  Samuel Njogo, samuelnjogo@gmail.com

3. Weather layer: Uganda -  Ssembajwe Ronald, ronaldnazirite@gmail.com
