Herd Pilot

Help pastoralist communities around the world preserve their livelihood, by providing them access to information and resources (e.g grass land, water, safe routes) to prepare and support their migration journey.

The objective of the project is to design a working prototype for a mobile application which provides pastoralists community with information on land monitoring: water availability, grassland, and assist communities in networking.

Pastoralists are faced with the challenge of migrating hundreds of kilometers with their herds, with limited resources. Herd Pilot aims to make their journey easier, by providing them with geographical information about the pastures they select, and routing them to good pastures, while keeping them close to towns and bodies of water
