Water risk is financial risk.
And yet, agriculture—responsible for 70% of global freshwater use—still operates largely blind to how much water it actually consumes.
That’s where Kilimo comes in.
Kilimo uses satellite data, machine learning, and real-time environmental monitoring to help farmers optimize irrigation and verify water savings.
But Kilimo’s impact goes far beyond individual farms. By enabling Water Stewardship Credits, Kilimo creates a bridge between sustainable water savings and the corporate world—helping food and beverage companies and other water-intensive industries invest in verified, measurable water conservation efforts.
– For farmers, it means higher resilience and lower costs.
– For industry, it means meeting sustainability goals with credible, science-backed solutions.
– For our planet, it means protecting ecosystems, replenishing watersheds, and building climate resilience where it’s needed most.
This is what climate adaptation looks like in action—and it’s scalable, measurable, and urgently needed.
