Yesterday morning in Kigali, Rwanda Heifer International Africa held a thought provoking and inspiring side event at Africa Food Systems Forum2024 on integrating technology and innovative financing to transform smallholder farmer lives with real life case studies. The panel which included a farmer, agripreneur, banker and development practitioner highlighted through their stories their learning, achievements and challenges on how the interventions on weather forecasting, insurance financing, mechanization through pay- as- you -go- tractors and renewable energy has been transformative. What was clear from all was how integrating technology and financing is not easy and positive results can be achieved through persistence, hard work, strategic partnerships and collaborations. My colleagues working in Africa were delighted as it marks a promising begining of a wonderful week for us to engage at the AFS Forum 2024 with partners and farmers on issues of deep importance to the overall mission of Heifer International. #AFSForum2024 #HeiferatAFSForum#adesuwaifedi#Heifer International#Ayute#heifer_africa#Heifer Nigeria#development#agriculture
