“Big data is only as useful as the insights it provides, and the decision-making it informs.”
Dr. Zia Mehrabi, CSFS Associate, was the lead author of a study which found that the majority of farming households in Africa do not have internet access. Dr. Mehrabi spoke with SciDev.Net about the effects of access to technology on the agri-food sector, as well as why governments should focus on increasing such access to maximize farming productivity.
