Digitizing Farm Records for Food<br />
Security<br />
FARMIS is an innovation which is basically<br />
implemented by SOKOPEPE for improving the<br />
lives of the small scale farmers in Kenya which<br />
gives power to engage with the financial<br />
institutions and provides them the technical<br />
information for them to increase the income and<br />
also it is used for their food options. The farmers<br />
in FARMIS were given up to USD162, 500<br />
which served 25,000 farmers<br />
Technologies used:-<br />
FARMIS are using both analogue and digital to<br />
manage the records that consists of<br />
PRODUCTION INFORMATION AGENTS.<br />
Through this PIA the farm book collects the<br />
information and data about the production and<br />
mobile phones are used to collect the data that<br />
contains the profiles which contains information<br />
online.<br />
FARMIS seeks to address a related challenge<br />
based on the lack of reliable data; to drive<br />
decision-making and inform households,<br />
governments and private institutions on the most<br />
appropriate interventions that would be necessary<br />
to improve crop production of the rural smallscale<br />
farmer as well as develop the most<br />
appropriate solutions to meet the peripheral<br />
challenges that hamper food production. So far<br />
7,235 farmers in Meru County are keeping<br />
records of their farm enterprises using the Farm<br />
Book. Some of them are already<br />
changing the type of enterprise in their farms<br />
through informed decision.<br />

Breaking through: Artificial intelligence is<br />
breaking into the healthcare industry by assisting<br />
doctors. It Matters; there is a great amount of<br />
research and drugs related to cancer. In order to<br />
prevent this,‖ Microsoft has developed a<br />
―BLOOMBERG TECHNOLOGY‖ using AI to<br />
help doctors to find the right treatments for<br />
cancer.<br />
It works on; Microsoft is working on a project to<br />
develop a machine called‖ HANOVER‖. Its goal<br />
is to memorize all the papers necessary to cancer<br />
and help predict which will be the most effective<br />
for patient. Using Artificial Intelligence to try<br />
and monitor multiple high-risk patients. Like<br />
leukemia, lung cancer, melanoma. One project<br />
that is being worked on at the moment is<br />
fighting‖ MYELOID LEUKEMIA‖ a fatal cancer<br />
where the treatment has not improved in decades.<br />
