Zaca: Can you make a cellphone taste like a chili?

 

Zaca is a mobile-based technology that seeks to improve rural livelihoods by providing resource-strapped farmers a platform to 1) aggregate produce information and 2) query current historical market produce wholesale and market prices.  By making this information accessible via widely available SMS technology, data transparency is imposed on the market, curtailing the opportunities for farmers to be exploited.
