Farming in Africa: The digital revolution that is set to transform agriculture (The Telegraph)

September 26, 2019


The Telegraph (UK) reported on how technology can help to transform African agriculture. Ousmane Badiane, Director of Africa said, “Africa has huge problems of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition. We can’t wait to solve them and we don’t have the money to go the traditional way of building major roads before we can communicate with a group of farmers in rural areas. That’s where digital technologies come in. They allow us to overcome those obstacles faster and at a lower cost.” Republished at Yahoo.com/UK.
