2 nd AFRICAN CONFERENCE on<br />
PRECISION AGRICULTURE<br />
The mission of the African Conference of Precision Agriculture (AfCPA) is to<br />
“connect the science and practice needed to put precision agriculture in action for<br />
Africa.” AfCPA seeks to provide a pan-African platform focused on highlighting new<br />
advances in the fields of experimental and applied precision agriculture.<br />
This effort is aimed at strengthening and supporting the precision agriculture<br />
community within the African continent. AfCPA wishes to engage key stakeholders<br />
including scientists, policy-makers, extension staff, crop consultants and advisors,<br />
agronomists, and service providers towards the common goal of building the capacity<br />
and resilience of African cropping systems.<br />
