“In Kericho and other parts of #Kenya, AI-powered #tools have become increasingly popular among small-scale #farmers seeking to improve the #quality and #quantity of their #produce.

#Pests, #diseases and a lack of #technical #knowhow mean farmers have become accustomed to suffering crop losses on a large scale. They used to rely on advice from agricultural extension officers – professionals deployed by local governments to provide educational services to farmers – but their numbers have declined in recent years due to inadequate funding.”

The Guardian · High tech, high yields? The Kenyan farmers deploying AI to increase productivityBy Carlos Mureithi

I'm having a #rant.
Have you noticed #shrinkflation with your #toiletrolls? Even supposedly decent brands with #quilted promises, the #paper has become so thin & useless that it isn't #fitforpurpose, at least not in the previous #quantity. We all have to use the #toilet & unless you're a #bidet user a #bathroom visit to the #loo means you need #tissue. Hence the #toiletroll #stockpiling in recent years. With the poor #quality we may have to go back to making squares of #newspaper! 🚽 🗞️
