Overview

Welcome to the “Fourth Agricultural Revolution” 💡

According to the Global Hunger index, an estimated amount of 690 million (8.9% of world population) have went hungry back in 2019 and the number is increasing year by year. Of which 267 million of those people are in Africa. Considering the fact that Africa holds 60% of the worlds uncultivated arable land , why is this the case? and still 14% ( 32 million tons of food) of food produced in Africa gets lost. Theres a lot of numbers and statistics but basically theres a problem when it comes to using Africa’s arable land which is uncultivated and filled with drought as the world get’s warmer — but have no fear , if AI and renewable energy can find a niche — we might just find a way to reduce the amount of food getting lost for a growing continent whilst harmoniously harvesting with nature

Artificial Intelligence 🧑‍💻

There is absolutely no doubt that agriculture is a major contributor to African economies but as I mentioned above their are obstacles for Africa to benefit from such uncultivated land , including unpredictable rainfall , droughts and floods as well as pest and disease control.

However with the use of AI, the ability to predict rainfall and droughts becomes more reachable ,pest and disease control becomes much easier to identify.

“These robots are able to eliminate 80% of the volume of the chemicals normally sprayed on the crops and bring down the expenditure of herbicide by 90%”

AI has many different approaches it is looking into such as the ability for

• AI and machine learning to improve crop yield prediction through real-time sensor data and visual analytics data from drones.
• Yield mapping is an agricultural technique that relies on supervised machine learning algorithms to find patterns in large-scale data sets and understand the orthogonality of them in real-time
• making AI and machine learning-based smart tractors, agribots and robotics a viable option for many remote agricultural operations that struggle to find workers.
• Improving the track-and-traceability of agricultural supply chains by removing roadblocks to getting fresher, safer crops to market is a must-have today

Company spotlight 💡

Companies like Agrivi are leveraging data and current AI to create a management platform and statistical basis for farmers, supply chain indicators of certain crops as well as current sales in the market. With the increase in mobile penetration over the African continent, AI is able to benefit rural farmers at a large scale — to the point of growing businesses by cutting out many middle men that usually happens in African agriculture.. sounds like a fair trade🧐

Different Renewable energy methods☀️

With the use of decentralized renewable energy like solar powered- mills , solar powered refrigerators, water pumps , cold-storage and agro-processing will be one of the many ways to cultivate land that uses renewable energy — using the power of the sun and wind to enhance their farming capabilities and lifestyle overall. Using such methods allow rural farmers that are off the grid to produce electricity. The current food system contributes almost 29% of greenhouse gas emissions — fortunately many innovations are happening in this space when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emitted.

Microgrids 🔬

Are Micro-grids the answer? 🧐to power rural farmland

Micro-grids refer to energy produced in a localized electricity grid , which operates independently from the national/main grid. Most often Micro-grids are capable of withstanding any natural disasters and can be placed almost anywhere where they are resources of the sun and wind as well other renewable sources such as organic waste ( found on almost any farmland).

Sounds too good to be true ? why didn’t we do this in the first place? well in turns out that solar panels and other materials needed to produce renewable energy were once too expensive for rural farmers. But with the current trend and the reduction in the cost of solar panels and other sources that is set to change.
