With the advent of the Green revolution, there has been intensive use of agricultural technology. Efficient farms and the adoption of traditional best farming practices, have raised the bar and propelled the growth of agriculture in Africa. However, agriculture today faces the new challenges of climate change, exploding population, water scarcity and lack of traceability.
There then arises a need for agri-innovation, which can be used for uniform and instantaneous dissemination of knowledge and integration of all stakeholders and processes to ensure better monitoring and traceability.
The challenges faced by the smallholder farmers and how to face them
Many farmers in rural Africa lack the means to reach good metrics, as a result, they either obtain a poor yield or are unable to sell their produce due to not being able to access the market. This coupled with an erratic climate threatens millions of smallholder farmers, there then arises a need to leverage digital technology to empower farmers to obtain better results, enable them to climb out of poverty and maintain a sustainable livelihood for the years to come.
So what’s the solution?
In order to effectively track and monitor farmer progress, there needs to be a foolproof mechanism that alerts and informs stakeholders at every level of the agri-ecosystem.
Over the years, baayagro have continually strived to empower smallholder farmers by providing them with the necessary information and training, while giving them access to improved seedlings for planting season.Baay Agro is an Agritech business company that is committed to being an active part of the future of the rural world through agricultural technology.
