Greenhouse Building Initiatives
BayKart and Hope Farm Foundation jointly launched a strategic greenhouse development initiative designed to empower farmers, strengthen climate-smart agriculture, and build sustainable rural economies. This approach aligns with Hope Farm Foundation's climate-smart mission and BayKart's digital agriculture vision.
Greenhouse Initiative Purpose
Strengthen food security
Greenhouses allow year-round production of vegetables, seedlings, and fruit crops—reducing dependency on imported food and strengthening local food systems.
Support climate-smart agriculture
As climate challenges increase, greenhouses deliver controlled environments that protect crops and stabilize yields.
- Controlled environment farming and reduced crop losses
- Improved resilience against heat, pests, and unpredictable rainfall
Expand seedling production for "Grow One Million Trees"
Greenhouses will:
- Secure healthy seedlings to increase tree survival rates
- Support mass propagation for reforestation efforts
BayKart contribution
BayKart's platform connects farmers to:
- Greenhouse-produced seedlings
- Training modules & Knowledge resources
- Digital ordering for inputs
Market access
BayKart creates ready demand for greenhouse outputs such as:
- Vegetables and specialty crops
- Seedlings
