About PxD:
PxD is a rapidly scaling global non-profit that harnesses the power of technology, data science, and behavioral economics to provide targeted information to farmers in low- and middle-income countries. Providing the right information to the right people, in the right way and at the right time, increases incomes, protects the environment, and improves well-being. We are evidence-based: we test our interventions with randomized controlled trials to prove our impact and cost-effectiveness, to simultaneously learn from and improve our service, and to demonstrate our value to funders and partners. There are few programs in international development that are as demonstrably cost-effective as ours. We currently work in seven countries in Africa and Asia and are expanding as more governments and organizations look for innovative ways to use new technologies to empower people across low and middle-income countries.
PxD's activities in India are implemented in partnership with Behaviour Change Advisory Services (BCAS) LLP.
