Description:
Many food systems especially in developing countries suffer losses due to lack of a robust technological set-up. Meteorological stations are hardly functional and normal farm practices are still manual, preventing growth and scaling up of production. Last year, a cooperative in Cameroon lost more than 500ha of its maize field to a drought spell which should not be the case with the numerous tools and technological advancements aimed at helping cultivators produce optimum yields. Many local farmers in developing countries have no experience of how much AI and technology can facilitate farm management and ensure optimum yield. Educating the masses and ensuring collaborations to achieve better results will sustainably boost food security across nations and agrifood systems.
1. A publication in any related journals.
2. Follow-up processes and research for implementation.
3. Project proposals on training rural communities on AI for food security and optimal crop yield amidst the climate crises.
