Last week Chris was back in Kenya with one question in mind: How can mobile apps best be used to help farmers?
He was joined by representatives of12 institutions, organisations and NGOs (from 5 countries) and 30 local farmers, who together explored existing mobille applications, as well as generating plans for potential future development.
Apps demonstrated included use of machine learning for automated crop pest and disease recognition, weather forecasting, informative learning videos for a wide variety of relevant topics, and tools to support budgetting.
The response to the week was overwhelmingly positive, and insightful discussions will help guide us as we continue to use technology throughout our Digital Communities Initiative.
