AGRICULTURE
Transforming Agriculture through Technological
Innovations in Africa.
Initiator : Sea Pacome

2. In Africa, Young Innovate in a Farming Sector in
Full Growth.
• «Just get started»
• To start producing
• To generate wealth

3. Transforming agriculture through innovations
• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the
United Nations in September 2015, call on all stakeholders to end
hunger (Goal 1) to double the agricultural productivity of small-
scale food producers by 2030 (Goal 2; 2.3), and to promote
policies that promote entrepreneurship (Objective 8, 8.3)
• HERE you will see SOME entrepreneurial initiatives in the field
of ICT created by young innovators from Africa. These
innovations include the use of mobile phones, social networks,
websites, and a new generation of tractors. The proposed
services target a variety of segments and facilities along the
agricultural value chain, from pre-production to production, as
well as financing, marketing, trade and consumption..

4. ICTs to the rescue
• Agriculture provides 70% of
the continent's employment
and 30% of its GDP.
• only five African countries
spend at least 10% of their
total expenditure on the
agricultural sector
• only 30% of farmland is
farmland-wide (40% in
West Africa)
The implementation of an
innovative agronomy is
here a strategic vision of
what the world will be in
thirty years.
• Agriculture. Farmers can access
expertise and information on
everything from weather, crop
selection, and pest control to
management and finance. It can
also improve access to markets,
generating better prices for
produce.

6. Support to
Production
farming communities struggle
to gain access to information
that could boost productivity
the speed of ICT helps to get
information to those who need
it most.

7. Some Examples of Innovations That Make
the Difference !!!
Farmerline — One message
per day
SavaNet — Q&R at the speed
of light
Audio conferencing, podcasts
and SMS platforms to transform
farming communities
Daily SMS to disseminate
agricultural best practices to
tens of thousands of farmers
M-shamba — Three in one
SMS connects farmers to
agronomic information
CropGuard — More pests
The mobile app that
supports pest control

8. Farmerline provides accurate and timely information to small farmers Ayaniga Atimbea, member of a women's savings
club in Ghana, raises goats to provide income for her
family.
Local communities adapt quickly to
technologies,,,

9. GENERATE MORE RICHES Many people say
that agriculture is
only for the poor,
and that farmers
are being
exploited.
Speeches that
tend to encourage
and encourage
youth to realize
the potential it
has, and its ability
to transform the
sector if it
addresses the
issue.

10. Entrepreneurship based on ICTs in the
agricultural sector a GOOD FUTURE.
ICTs have the potential to bring
about the transition from labor-
intensive agriculture to capital-
intensive agriculture. "You see
people investing in aquaponic or
greenhouse technologies ... these
methods require a lot less
manpower. Imagine a fully
automated greenhouse with
sensors that allow you to control
humidity levels, all from your
mobile phone »
