A byte at a time: Africa’s progress towards a digital agriculture future (The Africa Report)

The Africa Report published an op-ed by the Malabo Montpellier Panel Program Head Katrin Glatzel on the next steps for meeting the challenges of reducing poverty throughout Africa. The digitalization of Africa’s food system presents new opportunities to apply digital and data-driven technologies to the agriculture value chain. These can inform decisions at the production level; on value chain optimization and on storage methods; and help farmers prevent food waste and loss at the harvest and post-harvest levels.
