A previous study showed that a 1% increase in agricultural per-capita GDP reduced poverty gap five times more than a 1% increase in GDP in other sectors in Kenya and across Africa. Another study demonstrated that for a 10% increase in farm yields, there was a 7% reduction in poverty in Africa.
These reports reinforce the importance of our work ifarm360, where we are keen on using technology and innovation to champion SDG 2, sub 3, by supporting smallholder farmers to increase productivity and household incomes through access to affordable agrifinance, best farm practices, and markets.
