The Centre for Dryland Agriculture (CDA) at Bayero University Kano has partnered with KanoTec Solutions, a UK-based tech company, and York St John University to promote precision agriculture in Nigeria. The partnership aims to enhance productivity and sustainability in dryland regions. KanoTec’s Data Platform for Precision Agriculture (DPA) integrates IoT, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing to provide farmers with real-time data and insights to make informed decisions. The DPA technology provides a comprehensive view of factors affecting crop growth, including soil and environmental conditions, weather data, and GPS mapping. The platform empowers farmers to optimize resource utilization, reduce costs, and adopt environmentally friendly practices. CDA’s director, Professor Jibrin Mohammed Jibrin, expressed delight with the partnership, stating that it aligns with the centre’s mission to improve livelihoods and sustainable natural resource use in African drylands. The collaboration is expected to be a transformative step in advancing agricultural productivity and sustainability in Nigeria.
