Integrating ICTs and Land Preparation Mechanization

The agricultural sector is a pivotal sector in ensuring food security in any country. Food security has continued to be a key focus for many Governments especially in Africa, where most farmers have small fields and tend to practice subsistence farming as opposed to large scale commercial farming. Emerging mechanization service providers provide ploughing services periodically to farmers, and in Kenya, it is typical to find such providers migrating to rural urban centers in search of ploughing business.
