How Agritech Could Transform African Farming by 2035

How Agritech Could Transform African Farming by 2035

Agritech could reshape African farming by 2035, helping farmers respond to climate risks, low yields, costly inputs and post-harvest losses. Tools such as artificial intelligence, drones, satellite data, sensors and improved seed systems can support faster and better farm decisions. Precision farming and smart irrigation can help farmers use water, fertiliser and crop protection products more efficiently. Digital platforms can also connect farmers with buyers, finance, weather updates and market prices, reducing losses and dependence on middlemen. However, rural internet access, equipment costs, digital skills and affordable financing remain major barriers. Governments, lenders and agribusinesses will need to invest in connectivity, training and practical tools if technology is to improve food security, farm incomes and jobs across Africa.

Which of these tools do you think can reach ordinary farmers first: improved seeds, sensors, satellite data, or drones?

Are we judging by affordability, ease of use, or how quickly farmers can access them?

The biggest promise here is helping farmers make quicker decisions when climate risks, expensive inputs, and losses keep squeezing returns.

The technology sounds useful, but drones and AI alone will not solve farming challenges if farmers cannot realistically access them.

Start with tools that directly reduce input waste and post-harvest losses, then build farmers' confidence before introducing more complex systems.
