@b_ezeomah Presenting at #ifip94 - digital platforms could disrupt agric value chains in developing countries, but the evidence do not yet indicate that. #ICT4D @GlobalDevInst #CDIManchester

[Richard Heeks @CDDManchester]

Really useful list of digital platforms in Africa: covers global and local platforms, with filters for country, sector, etc; covers eight key anglophone sub-Saharan economies #PlatformEconomy https://t.co/Zj71P8igxP

With these central irrigation pivots, farmer's are able to farm all year round. 😁
This is just one of the steps taken in ensuring Food security.👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

@b_ezeomah @thriveagric @pdfnigeria @Richard_Ough I like that d crowdfarming is helping to augment extension system by allowin for an integrated approach to support diverse small holder farmers with needed & responsive production enhancing inputs to raise their productivity, where d public extension system is limited. Good read!

.@pdfnigeria & @DFIDNigeria launched a great report today on Nigerian #diaspora and how to incentive and support them to invest in #Nigeria. The good news: they are keen! But they need access to information, financial tools, & more trust in the system. @abikedabiri @nipcng

We started harvest on our maize farm in Jere earlier this week. and from all indications, it's going to be a wonderful harvest.
there's a lot more to come.

[Bookie Ezeomah @b_ezeomah]

I have just returned from Jere where #farmers working with @thriveagric's #crowdfarming platform are preparing for harvest. Interviewing some farmers revealed interesting behavioral changes which i'm looking forward to exploring further @GlobalDevInst @CDIManchester #phdlife

[Bookie Ezeomah @b_ezeomah]

Today, I started working with @thriveagric - a Nigerian #crowfarming platform - as part of my #research on #DigitalPlatforms disrupting agricultural value chains in Nigeria. @GlobalDevInst @CDIManchester #phdlife #fieldwork

[Richard Heeks @CDDManchester]

Developing countries must regulate #DigitalPlatforms; "else linking into existing platforms will only provide the superplatforms with more data, strengthening them further and facilitating their greater access to domestic markets" https://t.co/3KwdDtqWQY
