Water
Monitor soil and climate conditions to support efficient irrigation and drought resilience.
WEFEX · WEFE Global Observatory
Water. Energy. Food. Evidence for action.
WEFEX connects field data, farmer knowledge, and applied research to improve decisions in water-stressed farming communities.

About Emergency Energy
Clean energy is a foundation for resilient communities.
Emergency Energy is a U.S.-based nonprofit advancing practical, locally grounded responses across the water–energy–food nexus.
Through WEFEX, we bring field experience and usable evidence together—so technology supports people, and data leads to better decisions.
Why WEFE
One system. Four connected realities.
Water, energy, food, and ecosystems cannot be managed in isolation. WEFEX helps make their relationships visible at field level.
Energy
Use clean, reliable power to operate field systems and reduce energy vulnerability.
Food
Translate better information into practical support for small-scale food production.
Ecosystems
Connect farm decisions to soil health, land resilience, and the wider ecological context.
Field layerMeasure what matters locally.
What we do
From field conditions to useful knowledge.
WEFEX is designed as a practical observation and collaboration platform—not simply a collection of sensors.
- 01
Observe
Capture environmental conditions and combine them with farmer knowledge.
- 02
Interpret
Turn raw readings into clear indicators, patterns, and field-level insights.
- 03
Share
Make evidence useful to farmers, researchers, and policy partners.
- 04
Improve
Learn from each pilot and adapt the tools with participating communities.
Our approach
Technology with a field purpose.
A simple, adaptable architecture connects local sensing to secure storage, analysis, and decision support.

WEFEX pilot · Morocco
A working model for water-stressed agriculture.
The initial field node in the Beni Mellal region is testing the full pathway—from environmental sensors and local data storage to online visualization and practical interpretation.
- Small olive-grove setting
- Air temperature, humidity, and soil conditions
- Expandable hardware and analysis
- Co-created with farmer partners

Collaborate with WEFEX
Bring your knowledge, place, or capacity to the network.
We are building WEFEX through partnerships with people and organizations who want field evidence to lead to practical action.
Farmers & cooperatives
Co-create useful monitoring and interpretation around real field needs.
Researchers & universities
Develop analysis, studies, methods, and student engagement around field data.
NGOs & implementers
Connect WEFEX to local programming, training, and community partnerships.
Technical & institutional partners
Strengthen infrastructure, tools, scale, and evidence-informed policy.
Partnerships begin with a conversation.
