Digitization is significantly transforming rural economies in Africa, especially in the agricultural sector, where a large proportion of the population depends on farming for their livelihood. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into precision agriculture is emerging as a key element of this transformation, offering innovative solutions to improve agricultural yields, optimize resource use and enhance sustainability. The concept of artificial intelligence, AI, is that machines are capable of performing tasks in a presumed intelligent manner. These processes enable them to function automatically, to reason and to learn for themselves. The rise of digital technologies, in particular growing access to the Internet and cell phones, is an important lever for farmers in Africa. These technologies give them better access to markets, valuable information on prices and improved decision-making.
