The need for simple and adaptable innovations in agriculture to cater to rural communities was emphasized by Africanfarmer Mogaji, an agriculture expert, during the May edition of the X-Space session hosted by the Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre).
Mogaji, an Ashoka Fellow, stressed that over 70% of agriculture players are in rural communities, and innovations must be designed to reach them.
Mogaji highlighted the importance of collaboration, social inclusion, and equity in achieving sustainable agricultural systems. He suggested models that separate men and women farmers to promote healthy competition and empowerment.
