Recognising the crucial role of information technology (IT) in modern agricultural practices in ensuring food security, Flexify Solutions Limited, a tech-based firm, has introduced ‘CyberAgric’, an innovative solution designed to drive food production in Nigeria.
Flexify Solutions in a release said that “CyberAgric is a
cutting-edge mobile application that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to
support Nigerian farmers, particularly those involved in cash crop cultivation
such as cassava and maize.
“The app’s groundbreaking features include early disease
detection, with the capability to identify diseases like Cassava Brown Streak
Disease (CBSD) in cassava leaves within the first two weeks of infection.”
It added that by utilising
smartphone cameras, farmers can
capture images of their crops and receive real-time analysis and
recommendations, empowering them to take proactive measures to protect their
crops and ensure optimal yields, adding that CyberAgric is designed to function
offline, ensuring accessibility for farmers in remote areas with limited
internet connectivity.
Speaking on the significance of CyberAgric, CEO of Flexify
Solutions, Johnson Oyeniyi emphasised the app’s accessibility and educational
value.
According to him, our goal with CyberAgric is to ensure that
every Nigerian farmer, regardless of their location or internet access, can
benefit from advanced agricultural technology.
Oyeniyi noted that beyond disease detection, the app serves
as an educational platform, providing farmers with the latest agricultural best
practices and expert resources.
It explained that “Flexify Solutions collaborated closely
with Cybermate Technologies to tailor CyberAgric to the specific needs of
Nigerian farmers. The app initially focuses on cassava and maize cultivation,
addressing the critical challenges faced by farmers in these sectors.
“Through advanced AI-driven disease detection capabilities,
CyberAgric aims to mitigate the impact of crop diseases and enhance food
security in Nigeria.”
