One of most the prominent challenges facing Africa is providing food security for its citizens. While many farmers still rely on traditional techniques to coax a living from the land, there are opportunities to use cutting-edge technology to drive Africa towards a food-secure future. The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) reports that over 2 billion people do not have access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. A steady increase in hunger since 2014 together with rising obesity, clearly indicates the need to accelerate and scale up actions to strengthen food systems and protect people’s livelihoods. It…

The Tecno Camon was officially launched yesterday and is already available on Jumia for Ksh 28,500. This is the successor to the Camon 15 Premier from earlier this year and builds up on that including the addition of a 90HZ display. It is strange to see two devices in the same series launched just months apart but I guess with the fast-changing tech world, anything is possible. The Camon 16 Premier looks quite different from the Camon 15 Premier. It does not feel as bulky and the back camera is held in a square module at the back. For the…
