The Stream (with Will & Tom)
Understanding farmers’ water challenges and scaling innovative business models with Kilimo’s Jairo Trad S7 Ep.3
For the third episode of the season, Tom and Will are joined by Jairo Trad, Co-Founder & CEO of Kilimo.
In this episode he talks about how he spent months talking to farmers about their challenges, including on water, to really understand the customers’ paint points.
He discusses innovation in business models, and also funding challenges, including climate funds, which he believes should be renamed carbon funds!
Jairo also talks about how Kilimo started working with Microsoft, through a partnership with the Bonneville Environment Foundation (BEF).
It was super interesting to chat with an entrepreneur in the water-agriculture space.
