Alloysius Attah: Helping small-scale farmers thrive


Listen Later

Climate change, inflation, and unreliable supply chains are just some of the challenges small-scale farmers globally are facing today. Alloysius Attah grew up on a farm in Ghana and has seen it all first hand. Now, as tech advances in agriculture and AI have opened new possibilities for farmers, he's helping small-scale farmers take advantage by providing access to critical information in their native languages. His organization Farmerline started in Africa and now works with more than 2.2 million farmers, reaching more than 50 countries.

Guests: Alloysius Attah, co-founder and CEO of Farmerline
