FTLAfrica Global Hour Fireside 9
AI for African Agriculture — From Data to Drought Resilience
FTLAfrica Global Hour — Fireside #9
Featuring: Dr. Member Ojebode — AgriTech Leader, Founder & CEO, TeamO Group
Join us for a powerful and practical Fireside Chat as we explore how Artificial Intelligence and data-driven systems can transform African agriculture — from improving productivity to building resilience against climate challenges like drought.
As Africa faces increasing pressure on food systems due to climate change, population growth, and inefficiencies across the agricultural value chain, the integration of AI presents a unique opportunity to rethink how we grow, process, and distribute food.
In this session, Dr. Member Ojebode will share insights from her experience building a diversified agribusiness and integrating digital systems into agriculture. We will explore how data, predictive systems, and intelligent tools can empower farmers, reduce losses, and unlock new opportunities across the continent.
This conversation will bridge technology, agriculture, and opportunity, showing how Africa can move from traditional farming practices to intelligent, scalable, and resilient agricultural systems.
