AI & SOCIETY ANALYSIS
Empowering African Agriculture with Inclusive AI
This analysis delves into a groundbreaking approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) development in African agriculture, focusing on Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (GEDI). By integrating diverse voices, particularly those of women and marginalized farmers, AI tools can be more relevant, usable, and confidently adopted, driving equitable transformation in food systems.
The Untapped Potential of Inclusive AI in Agriculture
Current AI adoption in African agriculture faces significant disparities. Our analysis highlights how GEDI-informed design can bridge these gaps, fostering greater participation and empowering underserved communities.

Real-world Empowerment: Ngozi Ugwoke, Nigeria
Ngozi Ugwoke, a pepper farmer with a physical disability, highlights how AI tools restored her autonomy. Before, she relied on her son to check the farm. Now, she can take pictures and instantly know about pest problems.
Quote: "Before, I had to rely on my son to walk the farm and tell me if he saw problems. Now, I can take a picture from where I am and know immediately. It gives me back control."
