ImbewuField grows from years of designing gardens, training growers and supporting programme teams. We are piloting ImbewuField on African Conservation Trust’s Social Employment Fund (ACT SEF) programme. The app connects farm planning, learning and records, with selected workflows available offline.

People, connected
Keep the tools close to the work.
01
Farmers
Learn, plan the land and keep a useful record of the farm’s work.
02
Mentors
Guide a group, set learning tasks and follow up with each grower.
03
Organisations
Coordinate delivery, assessments and programme reporting.
04
Funders
Follow shared progress and the evidence behind the programme.
01 / Plan the land
A plan you can take into the field.
Bring beds, trees, water, paths and zones into one site design. Save the map, print it for a training session, and turn the beds into a seasonal crop plan.

02 / Learn & ask
A lesson for the task. An answer for the moment.
Work through illustrated lessons, listen to audio and follow your progress in My Studies. Bring a question from the garden to Lima, the app’s AI assistant, with a photo of what you have noticed.
A mentor can assign the next module and use the next visit to help turn learning into practice.

03 / Record the work
A sale at the gate. A record on the phone.
Keep harvests, sales and costs close to the work. Create an invoice, share it through WhatsApp or print it, then keep the payment status with the sale.
Picked
Harvests and production.
Sold
Sales and paid invoices.
Spent
The costs of running the farm.
04 / Support the programme
A garden is more than a number.
Open a garden record to see the people, production and learning behind it. Mentors keep follow-up focused; organisations coordinate delivery; funders review progress and findings shared with them.
Example organisation workspace · demonstration data and AI-generated garden, produce and profile images.
