Innovation & New Technologies

As part of our mission to improve people’s wellness and wellbeing, we are committed to the utilisation of new technologies as they emerge and are demonstrated to have a positive impact. In order to optimise our use of new tools and techniques, we have partnered with organisations that have a wealth of technical knowledge and skills, allowing them to develop simple but effective tools that can streamline our processes and inform our decision-making.

There are several specific technologies that we are currently working to implement within our organisation, namely:

  • Artificial Intelligence – with AI we can obtain richer and more
    complex data that can be used for rigorous predictive analysis,
    allowing us to make decisions with a greater degree of accuracy.
  • Blockchain – by providing a secure way of storing and managing data, blockchain can support information traceability in the food supply chain and pave the way to further improvements in food safety.
  • Internet of Things – the increased connectivity of devices and systems means that more and more elements of a production infrastructure will be able to reside on the same computer network. As well as improving ease of use, a unified network managed with a powerful control and monitoring platform will make it easier to detect and address problems before they can have a serious impact on the production cycle.
We are aware that there are invariably security concerns to be addressed with any new technologies, and we will be utilising the skills of security specialists to guarantee that individual systems and our overall infrastructure cannot be compromised by malware, ransomware or other malicious attacks.

By ensuring that our people always have access to the best technologies at any given time, we are certain that we will be significantly aided in the realisation of our overall vision and mission.

Food Security

We believe in sustainable agriculture by tackling the specific climate challenge(s) in specific farming area(s). Climate smart agriculture focuses on practices that can mitigate emissions, increase resilience or adaptation, and increase productivity.

Our overall impact will focus on the following:

  • Sustainable Agricultural Practices
  • Climate Smart Systems
  • Natural Resource Protection
  • Sustainable Consumption and Production
Access to Finance

One-third of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the world are run by women. Female business owners in developing countries face significant challenges to run their businesses, particularly in accessing finance. At the present time an estimated 70% of women-owned SMEs in the formal sector in emerging markets are underserved by financial institutions. We will work with SMEs to get them investor-ready and help them to access finance.

Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development

As an organisation in which many individuals have a track-record of successfully establishing their own businesses, we are passionate about encouraging and enabling entrepreneurship. To do this we support SMEs every step of the way, including the development of realistic business plans, the creation of comprehensive growth and business strategies, and the identification of steps that need to be taken to ensure they have the best production set-ups and processes in place.

Market Linkages

We are focused on building strong value chains and networks in African agriculture. We do this by: forming partnerships to align the needs of the producers and the markets; creating bridges between the manufacturers and the markets; building strategic relationships and leveraging opportunities through active networking; and mentoring, knowledge sharing and providing the required expertise.
