Digital technologies in african agriculture

The inability of African states to provide sufficient food to their populations is due to low levels of agricultural productivity. To achieve food security, it is necessary to carry out agricultural transformation, i.e. a structural reform of the agricultural sector, which entails a widespread introduction and use of innovations. In some African countries, digital technologies are already being introduced, such as mobile information services for farmers, early warning systems for hunger or disasters, warehouse receipt systems, etc. The main reasons for the lack of implementation of agricultural innovations in Africa include scarce funding, the low educational level of producers, underdeveloped infrastructure, limited access to information about new technologies, etc.
