🌾 Unlocking Smarter Finance for Smallholder Farmers in Kenya
💬 About the Roundtable
Smallholder farmers power Kenya’s agricultural economy, yet most remain underserved by formal finance. Traditional credit systems often overlook their realities — resulting in limited lending and underinvestment.
Now, AI and data-driven innovations are opening new pathways for inclusion. From satellite-based crop monitoring to predictive lending models, technology is transforming how smallholder finance can work — smarter, fairer, and more sustainably.
This high-level roundtable will bring together leaders in finance, agri-tech, and development to explore how data and innovation can unlock smarter finance for Kenya’s smallholder farmers.
