Transforming Farming in Rural Africa

Profound change is sweeping across the grasslands and vast expanses of the East African savanna. Here, amid the verdant valleys and hillsides rippling through this sea of grass, small farmers have struggled for millennia to eke out a living from the sun-baked soils. But now, with the help of an ecosystem powered by cloud technology, new hope and opportunity are coming to one of the poorest regions, per capita, on earth. It’s an alliance that connects hundreds of thousands of small farmers with an infrastructure that can support applications developed by Intelipro, a software company based in Kenya, to help farmers develop their agricultural practices, access financial resources, sales, and most importantly, improve quality of life for them and their children.
