• This project is aimed at the social cause of helping and sustaining rural farmers in developing nations. I visited Pakistan in the midst of a security crisis in order to carry out user-centred research and identify the problem. As a result, I found that farmers depend heavily on hoes 


  to weed and maintain their crops. This is a much-dreaded activity as it leads to severe back problems, and yet the tool remains ancient and unchanged. I have designed an innovative device, the Stephoe, which adapts the existing hoe but revolutionises its use. It is a simple, effective and disruptive innovation.
