the researcher's note
PlantVillage Nuru (Kenya, benefit). Reach quotable — over 10,000 farmers in Kenya using it (October 2023), 50,000 in Rift Valley and Eastern by 2024 — but the effect is operator-quoted, not measured: an "average increase of 40% in crop yields" and about a 50% reduction in crop losses, with no study, no sample, no date. Held out. Source: https://scholarmedia.africa/agribusiness/ai-in-agriculture-how-kenyan-farmers-benefit-from-plantvillage-nuru-app/
