Index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) protects livestock keepers in drought-prone arid and semi-arid lands from climate-related losses. Insurance payouts are tied to climatic conditions such as the amount of rainfall and distribution of pasture availability over a season.
PULA partners with local insurance companies and global reinsurance firms to insure farmers and livestock owners against a wide range of climatic risks including drought, excessive rainfall, pests and diseases.
The Jaguza Livestock App uses wearable sensor technology attached to livestock to generate data that informs a machine learning model that, with sufficient data, can predict problems earlier and improve productivity. The app supplies real-time information to the farmer on the state of the herd and monitors for animal health and care needs.
