About the technology

The solution

The proposed practical solution is the LandAgritech digital platform, designed to combat land abandonment and improve agricultural resource management by connecting producers with agricultural services (such as soil work, irrigation, and harvesting). The platform also enables real-time tracking of agricultural activities using GPS and video, and empowers women and youth in the agricultural sector.

Objectives of the project

The main objective is to reduce land abandonment and restore degraded ecosystems by facilitating access to agricultural services. The platform also aims to empower women and youth, improve agricultural productivity, and create sustainable economic opportunities, while promoting efficient resource management in rural areas in Tunisia.

Ecological context

This technology is suitable for use in arid and semi-arid areas, which face challenges due to climate change, such as Southern Tunisia. It can be used in environments experiencing land abandonment or degradation, where desertification and water scarcity threaten ecosystems. The platform is also applicable in regions with limited access to agricultural services due to geographical, social, and economic constraints.

Main constraints

Key constraints include limited access to technology in rural areas, challenges with internet connectivity, and the need for user training, especially for women and youth. Social and cultural barriers also hinder the adoption of technology, such as gender-related restrictions that prevent women from accessing certain agricultural services.

Main business opportunities

Business opportunities include creating on-demand agricultural services for farmers, expanding the platform to other Mediterranean regions and potentially internationally, and generating employment opportunities in technology and agriculture. The platform could also generate revenue through consulting and training in sustainable farming practices and resource management.

Socio-economic context

This practical solution is ideal for rural communities facing high unemployment, particularly among youth and women. It is designed for regions where agricultural land is underutilized or abandoned due to socio-economic challenges. The solution empowers women and young farmers by providing access to modern agricultural services, increasing productivity, and creating sustainable income opportunities, thus addressing gender disparities and boosting economic resilience in underserved rural areas.

Information to maximize the adoption

To maximize adoption, it’s crucial to provide tailored training for users, especially women and youth farmers. The platform should be easy to use and adaptable to local needs. It must be reliable, showing effectiveness in sustainable land management. The cost should be affordable, and the solution should have a positive environmental impact, helping to reduce land abandonment and improve water use efficiency. The platform should also be socially inclusive and gender-sensitive to ensure wider acceptance in rural communities.
