The African Alliance for Food Security and Agribusiness (AAFSA) is a network ecosystem designed to accelerate growth for practising agripreneurs in Africa by leveraging a data-driven, evidence-based and knowledge approach to agriculture.

Data-driven and knowledge-based approaches to crop production are significant contributors to high yields. The lack of access to data-driven and knowledge-based approaches for farmers and the relatively high cost of deploying a digital agriculture technical infrastructure required for this practice also contributes to the relatively low yield derived from crop production.

AAFSA network will empower MSMEs(agriprenuers) to acquire the technical and business capacity, mentorship including software licenses, required to achieve increased yield per hectare and incomes for both farmers and members, at low cost, building efficiency into the adoption and implementation of digital technologies for agriculture.

It is a given fact that over 80% of farmers in Africa constitute small-scale producers that live under $2 a day according to the World Bank. These farmers are the poorest among us and have peculiar problems around compliance with Good Agronomy Practices and the capacity to produce high-yield harvests.

Over the years, the world has experienced advancements in digital technology that will benefit agriculture and African Alliance for Food Security and Agribusiness (AAFSA) is positioned to coordinate resources and build local capacity to provide localized solutions to real-world problems faced by African farmers.
