Occasional writing on data, AI, agritech, and rural innovation. More is on the way.

Note

Why agricultural research hasn't directly benefited farmers

Despite real advances, many farmers still lack access to the innovations meant to help them. A few reasons stand out:

  1. Research is often conducted in controlled settings, not real farm conditions.
  2. Findings are published in academic journals, not accessible formats.
  3. Solutions can be too costly or impractical for small farms.
