AI Helping African Farmers

Agriculture & Food Systems Agentic AI News - Week Ending 2025-09-30 (Detailed)

"In Malawi, Africa, thousands of small farmers are using an AI chatbot created by Opportunity International. This AI agent gives farming advice through simple text messages. After Cyclone Freddy destroyed Alex Maere's corn farm in 2023, the AI agent suggested he grow potatoes.

Maere followed the AI's advice exactly and made over $800 selling potatoes. This money helped him pay for his children's school fees. The AI chatbot speaks local languages and gives advice that works in African growing conditions."
