How digital is solving 3 problems in agriculture [复制链接]

1#
Hi,
     The minute she sold her macadamias to a nut processor last summer, Kenyan farmer Joyce Kaguru's phone vibrated with an alert. Picking it up, she saw an SMS receipt showing previous price and quantity of her crop, a digital record of previous deliveries - and a mobile payment in her digital wallet.
With the touch of a few buttons, a process that used to take days was now complete.

This is what the "fourth industrial revolution" looks like for increasing numbers of the world's smallholder farmers. Nearly a third of the global population relies on agriculture for a living, and growth in this sector has been shown to be at least twice as effective at reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.

The average African maize farmer, for instance, produces five times less per hectare than the average American grower.

A variety of new digital applications are now accelerating interventions that have been shown to improve productivity and growth in this sector. Connected Farmer, for instance, is a mobile product started in East Africa from a public-private partnership between Vodafone, USAID and the nonprofit TechnoServe, to help farmers work with agribusinesses and better manage their own crops and finances.    
Please help.
Thanks!
I did not find the right solution from the Internet.
