• A farmer has a problem with his or her crop
• The farmer brings a sample of their ‘sick’ crop to the plant clinic, which runs regularly at a local market
• A trained ‘plant doctor’ diagnoses the problem and recommends an affordable, locally available solution that the farmer can use to manage it. The plant doctor has access to information from the Plantwise knowledge bank to assist with diagnosis and pest management recommendations
• Data about the farmer’s visit is captured in the knowledge bank
• The farmer follows the plant doctor's advice; losses are reduced and productivity increases
• The farmer now has more food to sell and feed his or her family
