Nonprofit combating malnutrition in Guatemala through biofortified crops
Semilla Nueva operates a rural agricultural nonprofit focused on nutritional crop development in Guatemala. The tech stack is lean and compliance-focused—Office 365, AWS, plus specialized survey tools (KoboToolbox, SurveyCTO) and statistical software (Stata, R, Python)—reflecting their data-driven approach to measuring impact. Pain-point clustering around import/export compliance, seed logistics, and IT infrastructure suggests operations scaling faster than their technical foundations can support.
