“The continent is at an advantage as today’s agricultural transformation is happening at a time when life-changing technologies are part of our everyday lives. Computers and the internet didn’t exist when the US underwent their transformation and cell phones were barely a pipe dream when Asia transformed its agriculture. This gives Africa an opportunity to leapfrog the agricultural transformation trajectory of the past and revolutionize life by overcoming isolation, speeding up change, creating more and cleaner jobs of the future, and taking success to scale with a sight at inclusion. Digital technologies are emerging as one of the most important of these innovations. Their unprecedented growth and adoption has ushered in the era of disruptive digital innovation, knowledge economies and big Agri-data” ~ African Green Revolution Forum.
