AI technology boosts farming productivity in Nigeria

In Nigeria, farmers are using AI technology to improve agricultural practices and combat climate change. Innovations from local companies like Green Eden are helping farmers monitor conditions in real-time, leading to increased crop yields. Dandam Nangor, a farmer in Jos, reports a 20% increase in pepper production thanks to AI-driven soil and climate monitoring. Other farmers, like Mercy Atsuku, have also benefited from tech that tracks poultry conditions, reducing mortality rates. Despite these advancements, challenges remain. Many rural farmers lack internet access, and critics argue that the focus on output may overlook environmental issues and infrastructure needs.
