A lot of agricultural experimentation in Africa is conducted on farms. What can the rest of the word learn from OFE with an African flavour? A good place to start was the 1st African Conference on Precision Agriculture held just last week from 8 to 10 December. The African Plant Nutrition Institute, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and the International Society of Precision Agriculture were behind this successful inaugural event. even hundred participants at 14 sites representing 51 countries were put together on this occasion. On-demand content will soon be made available on the conference website for participants.
