Speaking in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Tadele Girma Kodo, Vita's Potato Senior Agronomist, highlights the transformative impact of Vita's agricultural programmes in the country. Vita has made significant strides in Ethiopian agriculture, particularly through its potato programme, which has greatly enhanced disease management using AI via the PlantVillage app. This technology has expedited disease detection. Vita's initiatives also include improving seed access through community-based systems, introducing Diffused Light Stores to reduce post-harvest losses, and promoting integrated pest management, increasing potato yields. Beyond agriculture, Vita's efforts have bolstered nutrition and economic prospects for rural communities, showcasing the broader impact of sustainable practices on food security and livelihoods in the region.
