"Revolutionizing Agriculture: Technology Holds the Key to Boosting Productivity, Says Expert"
In an era where the world's population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the agricultural sector is under immense pressure to increase productivity to meet the growing demand for food. Madam Samreen Nurmohamed, Director and Founder of tecGRW Company, believes that the answer lies in embracing technology. In an exclusive interview with Rwanda News Agency (RNA) on the sidelines of the ACAT2025 conference in Kigali, Madam Nurmohamed emphasized that technology is the key to unlocking the full potential of agriculture.
Madam Nurmohamed, a pioneer in using technology in agriculture, has already made significant strides in Rwanda through her company, tecGRW. With four greenhouses set up in Mahama, Bugesera, Nyaruguru, and Gat, she is demonstrating the power of technology in increasing productivity in agriculture. According to Madam Nurmohamed, technology can help farmers overcome traditional challenges such as limited resources, inefficient irrigation systems, and crop diseases. By leveraging technology, farmers can access real-time data on weather patterns, soil health, and crop growth, enabling them to make informed decisions and optimize their yields. Additionally, technology can facilitate precision farming, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact of agricultural practices.
The agricultural sector in Rwanda, like many other African countries, faces numerous challenges, including limited arable land, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of skilled labor. The ACAT2025 conference, which brought together experts from across the continent, aimed to address these challenges and explore innovative solutions to boost agricultural productivity. tecGRW Company, founded by Madam Nurmohamed, is at the forefront of this revolution. By developing and implementing cutting-edge technologies, the company is helping farmers in Rwanda to increase their yields, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
As the world grapples with the challenges of feeding a growing population, Madam Nurmohamed's emphasis on technology in agriculture couldn't be more timely. By embracing technology, farmers can not only increase productivity but also reduce their environmental footprint. As Rwanda and other African countries look to harness the potential of their agricultural sectors, the adoption of technology is likely to play a critical role. In the words of Madam Nurmohamed, "Using technology is the key to increasing productivity in agriculture." As the sector continues to evolve, it is clear that technology will be at the forefront of this transformation. With pioneers like Madam Nurmohamed leading the way, the future of agriculture looks bright indeed.
