Jina AcNova linatokana na Agriculture na Innovation. Ni platform inayounganisha farm mapping, umwagiliaji, soil intelligence, masoko, cooling chain, logistics na dashboards za wadau wa kilimo ili kujenga suluhisho la kudumu kwa wakulima.
Safari ya AcNova inaanza na founder wa UNIDA TECH, ambaye alikulia karibu na changamoto halisi za wakulima wadogo na kuona kwa macho jinsi ukosefu wa mvua, teknolojia, taarifa na masoko unavyoweza kuharibu maisha ya familia nyingi.
Katika mazingira hayo, wakulima wengi hulima kwa nguvu kubwa lakini bila data ya shamba, bila taarifa sahihi za hali ya hewa, bila umwagiliaji wa uhakika, bila masoko ya kuaminika na mara nyingi bila mfumo unaowalinda wanapokutana na hasara.
Ndiyo maana AcNova imejengwa kama Agriculture + Innovation: mchanganyiko wa kilimo, data, ramani, masoko, irrigation intelligence na operations technology. Lengo si kutengeneza website tu, bali kujenga permanent digital agriculture solution inayoweza kusaidia wakulima, cooperatives, buyers, field officers, delivery, cooling partners na institutions kufanya kazi pamoja.
Kujenga connected, data-driven and climate-smart agriculture ecosystem kwa Tanzania na East African Community, ambapo wakulima na wadau wa kilimo wanaweza kufanya maamuzi bora kupitia data ya mashamba, hali ya hewa, udongo, umwagiliaji, masoko na mnyororo mzima wa thamani ya kilimo.
Kuwasaidia wakulima kuongeza tija, kupunguza upotevu wa maji, kupata masoko bora na kujenga reliable farm records kupitia smart irrigation, farm mapping, soil intelligence na agriculture operations technology.
AcNova inaweka Agriculture + Innovation kwenye mfumo mmoja: farm mapping, farmer onboarding, irrigation support, soil and plant intelligence, market access, cooling chain, logistics na role-based dashboards kwa real agriculture users.
AcNova imejengwa kusaidia kilimo cha kisasa kuanzia usajili wa wakulima, ramani za mashamba, umwagiliaji, afya ya mimea, hali ya hewa, masoko na usafirishaji.
Zana za kidigitali zinazosaidia wakulima kupanga, kufuatilia na kuboresha shughuli za shamba.

Tathmini ya afya ya mimea, dalili za changamoto na ushauri wa hatua za kuchukua.
Taarifa za unyevu wa udongo, vipimo vya udongo na mapendekezo ya kilimo kulingana na hali ya shamba.
Ukaguzi wa shamba, taarifa za eneo, mazao, udongo, maji na maendeleo ya uzalishaji.
Usajili wa wakulima, taarifa za vikundi, maeneo, mashamba na kuanza kutumia huduma za AcNova.
AcNova imejengwa kuhudumia ecosystem nzima ya kilimo kupitia role-based structure, APIs, dashboards, mobile-friendly UI, map services, weather data, soil data, market baseline data na future IoT sensor integration.
AcNova inaweza kuwa suluhu ya kudumu kwa wakulima wa Tanzania na Afrika Mashariki kwa kujenga digital farm identity, kupunguza maamuzi ya kubahatisha, kusaidia matumizi bora ya maji, kuunganisha mazao na masoko, kupunguza post-harvest losses na kuweka farm records zinazoweza kusaidia finance, insurance na planning.
AcNova si bidhaa ya kijiditali pekee. Ni dhamira njema ya UNIDA TECH kujenga jukwaa la kisasa na kiteknolojia yenye uvumbuzi unalenga kuinua na kuunga mkono kilimo na wakulima, jamii, mchango a kiteknolojia, unakutanisha wawekezaji, wafadhili, mashirika na washirika wa kazi na mazao ya kilimo.
