Excited to share that Iโve been awarded the GPSC Tiffany Marcantonio Research Grant! Grateful for the support to advance UAV research and make meaningful impact. With this grant we're building version 2.0 of Orchard Intelligence (O.I.) Drone. ๐ #ResearchFunding
The average farm size is less than 2 hectares. These are small, scattered fields where large machinery isnโt practical. This is why tools like the knapsack sprayer in the video remain the backbone of crop protection. Itโs a good first step!
Mechanisation in Ghana and by extension African agriculture isnโt just about big tractors, itโs about solving everyday problems. One of the biggest? manual spraying. This here, looks like the start of a mechansing the knapsack sprayer, popularly know as 'kafu kafu'
Mechanisation doesnโt need to be complicated to be powerful.For Ghana and Africaโs Ag. transformation, we donโt need high-end robotics or tractors. We need affordable, scalable innovations that fit into existing workflows. Upgrading the knapsack sprayer is exactly that!
Testing a Relay-controlled LED system for the UAV.
This is meant to control current input/output for the subsystem using Arduino and Pixhawk flight controller.
#PrecisionAg
Eyes in the air, insights on the ground.
Weโre flying UAVs to generate high-resolution crop height models - capturing canopy structure, growth stages, and spatial variability across the field.
Because in precision agriculture, better data means better farming.

7 years ago, @kayhazel gave me the opportunity to put my knowledge and skills in Ag. to work for his company. Funny thing is this is all I do now. It was a pivotal point even before fully launching Locagro and Nocofio.
Working on @asungoli atm.
detection of spoilage, and minimized environmental impact by monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in areas like greenhouses, storage facilities; essentially providing real-time data to make informed decisions for better production and sustainability.
Today at the Lab, we built gas sensors for utility in agriculture. Gas sensors are crucial in agriculture as they enable farmers to monitor and control the levels of various gases in the environment, allowing for optimized crop growth, improved livestock management #PrecisionAg
