Agriculture is the backbone of Africa’s economy, employing more than 60% of the population and contributing to 25% of the continent’s GDP. However, African farmers are facing multiple challenges that threaten their livelihoods and food security. These include declining crop yields, high input costs, soil degradation, pests and diseases, and erratic weather patterns due to climate change. According to a report by the World Bank, climate change could cause Africa to lose up to 47% of its agricultural revenue by 2100 if no adaptation measures are taken.
One of the key challenges faced by African farmers is the lack of access to timely and accurate information that can help them make informed decisions about their farming practices. Most farmers rely on traditional methods or word-of-mouth advice that may not be suitable for their specific contexts or changing conditions. There is a need for simple and affordable technology solutions that can provide real-time data to farmers.
