Developed by a farmer-scientist partnership at UBC, LiteFarm is a free and open source management tool that enables farmers to manage their operations more sustainably.
Team members Dr. Hannah Wittman (CSFS Associate), Kevin Cussen (LiteFarm Product Manager) and Dana James (post-doc at the CSFS) discussed how the app is supporting the transition to climate-resilient agriculture.
“We’ve grown from a handful of farms in BC to more than 2,300 farms in more than 120 countries. We’ve been inspired by the ingenuity with which our users employ LiteFarm to run their farms,” said Cussen.
