Field notes
The page lays out a household workflow as well as a growing structure: families would send photos of the wall and harvest over WhatsApp, then receive simple advice in their own language. The planned Lamin pilot is scheduled for January–April 2027, and the project says it will track harvest, water use, and daily tending time. The homepage does not show results or confirm that the system is operating yet.
