Farmer decision making for their fields has been boosted by the introduction of daily weather forecasts and technical advice to mobile telephones in selected rural areas in Mali.The systems being tried out by ICRISAT and NGO partners have still to develop to overcome the illiteracy barrier for many potential users but early results from testing, including training on reading SMS messages, are showing
that action based on received forecasts can go as high as 95% in some districts around Mopti.
Climate services involve the timely production, translation, and delivery of useful climate data, information
and knowledge for societal decision making. In order to create climate services for farmers that are truly
integrated with user-centric design into the development process in an African context, the study has
finished an important and crucial step by conducting a literature review and designing a prototype for the
application. The goal of this study was to create climate services for farmers in an African context that are
genuinely integrated with user-centric design. This led to the co-design and development and integration
of a mobile application that provide climate and weather information as well as agricultural
information for the main crops such millet, maize and sorghum. The research applied using qualitative
research using interview with 3 farmers in the field using random sampling with the approach to inform
the study. A survey has been administered to find out how people understand climate services, Agro
meteorology and help enhance the mobile application’s user experience. A Results shows that farmers are
determined and ready to use and excited with the application. These innovations helped farmers to reduce
the cost, increase crop capacity and profit. A hypothesis was set that there is a need forintegrating AI into
a farmer’s application for making farming process more progressive and efficient farming and the
integration of Market Place (MP) for farmer’s application to market and sell their product the integration
of notification system that allows farmers to receive real-time data and IOT for real-time data. The data
collected and the survey results demonstrated that the research objectives were being met. The study aims
to develop the application that would be scalable, durable and fault tolerant for farmers to use the
application successfully.

This article addresses the problem of the performance of communication channels in influencing farmers’ perception of climate variability and their access to climate variability adaptation strategies. It aims to compare the influence of sorghum farmers' access to ICTs and interpersonal channels on their climate variability perception and their access to adaptation strategies, in order to make recommendations for improving their resilience to climate variability. The stratified random sampling method was used to select study sites, which consist of twenty (20) villages, and the sample, which consists of six hundred (600) family farms households’ heads. Primary data were collected using a mixed survey questionnaire (closed and semi-open). Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage) were used to analyze the sorghum farmers’ climate variability perception and their access to adaptation strategies. The correlations between sorghum farmers' access to communication channels (ICTs, interpersonal channels) and the their climate variability perception, the correlations between the sorghum farmers’ climate variability perception and their access to adaptation strategies, as well as that correlations between the sorghum farmers' access to communication channels and their access to the adaptation strategies were analyzed using the chi-square test. It appears that the access rate of sorghum farmers to a communication channel is not proportional to its influence on their climate variability perception and their access to the adaptation strategies; and the access of sorghum farmers to ICTs plays a more important role than their access to interpersonal channels in their climate variability perception, whereas their access to interpersonal channels plays a more important role than their access to ICTs (especially radio and television) in their access to the adaptation strategies. Improving the resilience of sorghum farmers to climate variability requires the proper use of each channel, but the telephone is in fact the ICT on which agricultural extension must henceforth rely most for effective improvement of the climate variability perception by sorghum farmers and their access to adaptation strategies.

As agriculture shifts from subsistence to commercial levels in Africa, UAVs will increasingly provide the granularity and agility required to monitor agricultural operations and performance in smallholder conditions, and hence the ability to provide advisories that capitalize on heterogeneity, rather than avoid it. The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), along with other world-leading institutions is heralding this new era of decentralized information streams in Mali and Nigeria, generating unprecedented datasets that reveal the enormous variability encountered in African cropping systems. UAV technology will help decrease the cost of crop performance monitoring over space and time. Embedded into mobile data streams, imagery will assist agricultural value chain actors optimize their businesses and support the development of technologically advanced rural jobs attractive for the youth.

Crop yield prediction using data mining techniques.pdfssuserb22f5a
Agriculture is the main source of occupation which forms the backbone of our country. It involves the production of crops which may be either food crops or commercial crops. The productivity of crop yield is significantly influenced by various parameters such as rainfall, farm capacity, temperature, crop population density, humidity, irrigation, fertilizer application, solar radiation, type of soil, depth, tillage and soil organic matter. An accurate crop yield prediction support decision-makers in the agriculture sector to predict the yield effectively. Machine learning techniques and deep learning techniques play a significant role in the analysis of data for crop yield prediction. However, the selection of appropriate techniques from the pool of available techniques imposes challenges to the researchers concerning the chosen crop. In this paper, an analysis has been performed on various deep learning and machine learning techniques. To know the limitations of each technique, a comparative analysis is carried out in this paper. In addition to this, a suggestion is provided to further improve the performance of crop yield prediction.

Participatory platforms enable the co-production process of climate services (CS) and provide an
opportunity to strengthen the link between the DoM and technical departments of MAFF through
regular exchange of climate information and understanding of the CS demand from agriculture
sector to develop tailored agro-advisories for planning and decision-making.
•
Effective dissemination of agro-advisories to last-mile users requires a combination of approach
(LTAC), enhancement of decision-support tool (CDT + SESAME), and utilization of various
communication channels (printed posters, Telegram, face-to-face meetings) compounded with
multi-stakeholder cooperation including government, private sector, NGOs, relevant programs and
farmer organizations, among others.
•
Collaboration with national hydromet center is critical for timely access to official seasonal climate
and short-term weather forecasts for the translation into agro-advisory. However, this necessitates
improved capacity of hydromet to provide reliable and accurate downscaled climate information
which entails further technical and financial support from government, potential donors, and private
sector cooperation to deliver agro advisory that is most appropriate to farmers’ needs on the ground.
The use of Information and Communication Technology and digital technologies in farm management plays a vital role in achieving strategic development goals of countries. Digital labour has helped enormously to boost access to large amounts of information, connecting people from remote communities, particularly young people whose innovative potential combined with the power of technology proves to be a force to achieve sustainable development goals. This research aims at determining the effectiveness of digital technology in agriculture through providing site-specific information and employing digital labour to implement precision farming in Malawi. The research objective focused on using rapid 4-in-1 soil tester, testing moisture, acidity, or alkalinity through power of Hydrogen (pH) measure, temperature, and fertility as well as Extension Helper Application, a portal used by extension coordinators to share farm information. The is desk research with qualitative study and slight quantitative figures from digital 4-in-1 rapid soil tester with students utilising study farm plots at Natural Resources College. Analysis derived valuable capabilities such as quick determination of farm specific information. Research found that with digital tools and digital labour, it was easy to see and manage field data, oversee worker productivity, manage resources, view farmer data trends and support decision making. Further, mobile digital tools were found to amplify extension massaging to reach more farmers and enable management to improve coordination of diverse service providers with the right type of data aggregation. Digital tools reduced the use of had written reports during field visits. Quality of collected data improved and frequency of field visits for the extension coordinator as well increased. This research was mainly drawn from action research as well as systematic review of both internal and external desk research. Action research and internal review was based on student plots at Malawi’s Natural Resources college and external desk review was based on SANE project with Extension Helper Application. Generally, the findings showed that the use of information and communication technology and digital technology with digital labour support decision making to form policies towards realising Malawi vision 2063.

By tracking the cropland extent
and changes, the following
SDG’s could be addressed:
World Population expected to
reach 9.7 billion by 2050
Agriculture is not only essential for food supply but also remains the
primary source of sustenance on the entire planet.
Globally, the changes on climate patterns have made it necessary to collect
information on the extent of cropland area and evaluate the impact of
these changes in the agriculture sector.
