More than 75 percent of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa prepare their lands using only hand tools. It’s a practice that results in poor productivity and repels young people. Which is why the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, and the African Union have developed a framework to roll out sustainable farm mechanization across the continent. The aim is to reduce drudgery, increase agricultural efficiency and boost food security. On this episode of TZH, we hear from Her Excellency Josefa Sacko, African Union Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, and Joseph Mpagalile, an agriculture engineer and expert at FAO. Interview: Charlotta Lomas, FAO.

Drought, flooding, and conflict in countries already affected by crisis threaten to put millions of people at risk of acute hunger, according the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

In this episode of TZH, Rosanne Marchesich, head of the Emergency Response and Resilience team at FAO, calls for urgent humanitarian action to meet the needs of 33 million people worldwide. Interview: Charlotta Lomas, FAO.

We’ll hear about a new data partnership between FAO and Google, learn how agriculture experts use satellite data in the field, and how this technology has evolved with the switch from analog to digital.
