Just had a really exciting meeting with esoko team in Accra. esoko is an app w/ on-the-ground support, call centres, bulletins, etc. for farmers in various African countries, crops & farming systems to get up-to-date info (weather, market prices, pests, etc.), advice, training & support.

Let's explore how we can harness the power of such systems for small-scale farmers, so after receiving training/new info, if they want to implement it, there is support & backup available.

Join us for our HRD Research Seminar Series (online) on December 7th, 15.00 (GMT)

While this sounds good in theory, what does climate-smart agriculture mean in practice?
