In this new work, we proposed a stage-targeted Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) framework: farmer-led channels for nurseries, co-designed tools for harvesting, and digitised indigenous knowledge for post-harvest.

@Isaacsogo I actually expected an exceptional profile but fewer than 30 publications, largely in Q4 journals (14 indexed on Scopus) with no record of registered or published commercial patents or scalable innovations? These are no exceptional in STEM and engineering in particular.
We explored pigeon pea diversity in West Africa, uncovering key traits that could boost its adoption and promote climate-resilient farming. We offer insights for developing improved cultivars for sub-Saharan Africa. #pigeonpea#sustainability#agriculture

During my PhD, I kept asking: if so many stress-resistance genes & QTLs are found, why are not stress-tolerant crops in farmers' fields? Years of reading + experience led to insights - now published as an Opinion piece with guidance from @RicardoAAzeved2!

@DayneWayne@ope_crypt@arojinle1@far_art_gallery Yeah... Height is a polygenic trait - controlled by many genes. So several recombinations of genes must have happened not just TT by tt. There are other genetic and non-genetic factors that may be involved.

It was an incredible honor to share the story, innovation, and impact of my AgTech company, @IAPrecisionHQ, with Her Majesty Queen Mary of Denmark 🇩🇰 alongside Denmark's Minister for Science and Higher Education, Christina Egelund
A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Yen Choi for the special invitation and to the @DanishMFA for providing such a prestigious platform to showcase our work and its transformative impact in Nigerian agriculture landscape 🌽🚜
It was nice to meet with Jette Bjerrum, the Consul General of Denmark Consulate in Lagos and His Excellency, Jens Ole Bach Hansen, (@DKambNigeria) The Ambassador of Denmark to Nigeria.
Lovely to connect with the amazing Adewale Yusuf of @AltSchoolAfrica and my good sister Ayobami Kareemah Oladipo of @IgnitiaWeather. it's great sharing the stage with you fellow innovators
I am deeply grateful for this honor and the calling to drive positive change through innovation in African agriculture.

@khazaei_hamid This is interesting. I am keen about solving similar problems with African Yarn Bean (AYB). I will appreciate any opportunity for collaboration to learn from your experience with Fababean.
@bellosaleh@HabuSadeik Most people only believe solar energy is just about PV cells. A combination of CST and TES(thermal energy storage) is a promising energy solution still not fully explored
🌍 Reflecting on my time at the Global AI Summit on Africa (#GAISAfrica) in Kigali! 🚀
Two months ago, I joined DevGlobal/Dev-Afrique for an Advisory Consultation on AI in Agricultural Extension for the Gates Foundation in Rwanda. We discussed strategies to empower small-scale producers through AI-driven solutions.
At #GAISAfrica, I immersed myself in discussions on ‘Unleashing AI in Agriculture,’ emphasizing its potential to transform farming across Africa. Hon. George from Ghana stressed the need to democratize AI, putting its power in the hands of farmers.
Leaving #GAISAfrica, I’m inspired by Africa’s readiness to lead in AI innovation. With dedication, we can harness AI’s potential for a brighter future.
🌱 Let’s empower Africa’s youth and agriculture sector to embrace AI and drive sustainable change! 💡

@mikebamiloye This doesn't sound like Mike Bamiloye.
This write up is not in tandem with other of your writings.
I'd like to know what exactly changed?
