Proud of this work with Kate Ott. Betting on the education of young girls is a no-brainer!!! Girls who would be married are placed in schools and given enriching education not just from the school but the PlantVillage community (so from Ag to AI). linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Come join us! We are building a collaborative AI tool for the world that allows us transform billions of tonnes of waste biomass via modular pyrolosis into biochar to solve two billion scale problems: billion tonnes C02/removed/year and billion people out of poverty via $$

AI for carbon dioxide removal from PlantVillage. Biochar will dominate carbon removal! But there are so many entrenched misgivings about the process that we must be extremely precise in monitoring, verifying and recording the whole process. So, AI is vital. Our first steps!

Really important message on climate change as the driving force for vector borne diseases

PlantVillage Kenya officers participated in an expo held today at the Bungoma National Polytechnic. The team showcased innovative solutions, including #biochar, #parasitoids, and the #PlantVillageApp in diagnosing pests and diseases in cassava. 1/2

This was so awesome. We have a built a model where young Africans (Kenyans in this case) with skills in agriculture, teach other young people. Older people can be experienced and excellent- but in food security often less skilled and v. hierarchical in my view. And no Europeans!
