Episode Description
In today's episode, we're talking to Alesha Miller, Chief Strategy Officer at Digital Green — a tech nonprofit putting AI tools directly into the hands of smallholder farmers around the world. We explore how digital technology is reshaping agriculture from the ground up and why the world's 500 million smallholder farmers have been chronically under-served.
You'll hear how Digital Green's Farmer Chat app has already answered more than 10 million questions in farmers' own languages, why Alesha believes farmers will end up teaching AI more than AI teaches them, and the reason farmer protests are erupting in countries where data centres are now competing with farms for the same water.
