Plungesmile Foundation empowers rural African communities by closing gaps created by poverty and limited resources. Central to our mission is advancing food security and child nutrition through our Sustainable Farming initiative. From the outset, we recognized that scaling our impact required harnessing innovative technology. By integrating smart solutions, Plungesmile delivers comprehensive support that uplifts lives, drives long-term development, and champions a future where every child has access to nutritious food.
By integrating Microsoft Copilot Researcher Agent into daily operations, we have scaled sustainable farming initiatives and school feeding programs, delivering measurable impact for marginalized communities.
AI-Driven Solutions for Food Security
The mission centers on empowering vulnerable populations through education, health, nutrition, and sustainable infrastructure. To overcome challenges of poverty and resource limitations, we adopted innovative AI solutions that enable smarter, more efficient farming and resource management.
Transforming Nutrition with AI Technology
We moved beyond simply providing daily meals to over 1,000 school children in Esie, Kwara state -Nigeria. With Copilot Researcher Agent, the team established a transparent, sustainable farming program that funds and supplies nutritious meals. AI specialists trained volunteers to input key data on crops, soil health, and farm management. Copilot analyzed this information alongside weather and market trends, optimizing yield forecasts and sales strategies to maximize impact.
- Smart Data Collection: Volunteers gathered detailed farm data—crop types, planting schedules, and soil tests—for AI-powered planning.
- Predictive Analytics: Copilot Researcher Agent projected harvest volumes and estimated market value, ensuring steady nutrition funding.
- Market Optimization: AI recommended the most profitable sales windows, boosting revenue and sustainability for school feeding programs.
Impact of AI on Community Nutrition and Growth
- Feeding More Children: The first AI-optimized harvest funded 44,000 school-day meals, ensuring two months of daily nutrition for 1,000 children.
- Sustainable Expansion: Harvest yields now estimated to reach ₦9–₦12 million in market value per cycle, supporting program growth and jobs for local farmers.
- Efficiency & Scale: AI insights enable three cropping cycles per year, aiming for six months of uninterrupted nutrition for students.
- Replicable Model: A data-driven approach empowers volunteers and partners to expand sustainable agriculture across Nigeria.
- Transparency & Trust: Sharing clear, data-backed reports builds donor confidence and secures long-term support.
