West Africa is 1.5x hotter than anywhere else in the world. Here’s the digital tool that helps farmers secure a higher yield: Up Next ► How Big Tech breeds disinformation—and how we take back truth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSMyWsdmPoQ Subscribe to Freethink on YouTube ► https://freeth.ink/youtube-subscribe Extreme temperatures are heating up Africa at a rate of 1.5 times the rest of the world, a tangible effect of climate change. To adapt, many African farmers are planting increasingly bigger plots, which yield lower and lower crops and income. myAgro offers smallholder farmers a solution by arming farmers with financial and agricultural resources to help them increase their yields and income. This ensures farmers create food security for their families and communities toward building a resilient food system for the continent. Droughts, floods, denigrating natural soil, and climbing temperatures require that farmers adapt to the weather challenges each season, and myAgro’s financial tools and climate-smart agricultural training helps farmers lock away their own money for seasons ahead for a more productive farm and reliable income. In 2022, myAgro farmers grew 2.5X more food, which translated to hundreds of dollars of additional net income that can allow families to pay for schooling, healthcare, and sturdy shelter.
