Abstract:

According to the Light Power Action report published by the AFRICA PROGRESS PANEL, 620,000,000 Africans are not connected to the electricity grid. Moreover, the incomes of two-thirds of African families depend on agriculture. In most cases, it is a subsistence farming whose labor is family and is practiced with rudimentary tools. Initiatives have been put in place to organize farmers into cooperatives, but the lack of adequate monitoring leads to the ineffectiveness of this approach. Yet, with global warming, we will face two major challenges: how to lead a development in breach with the energies of fossil origin? And how can farmers be protected from the various risks associated with climate change? The answer to these two questions is found: this is technology. This is why in order to provide farmers with the technology needed to improve production, crop transformation and the adaptation to global warming that we have created AfroGreenTech. Here we create a community made up of farmer organizations, trainers, innovators, insurance institutions, investors, distributors. This will boost the sector and produce a significant change.
