Kenyan farmers tap apps to ride out Covid-19 and climate storm (The Star)

The Star (Kenya) published an article stating that Sub-Saharan Africa has more than 400 farming apps and platforms and that Africa’s digital farming services growing nearly 45% per year. The uptake of these apps is limited by tech challenges. David J. Spielman, senior researcher said agri-tech apps are already helping build the climate resilience of small-scale farmers. “Crop and livestock yields and production are edging upwards in Africa – the larger issue is that this rate of growth has to increase.”
