1. SmartAfriHub for SmartAgriculture capacity buidling in AfricaDigital Innovation Hubs (DIH) are multi-actor ecosystems that support farming communities in their digital transformation by providing a broad variety of services from a one-stop shop. DIHs purpose is to provide a social space for community of practices; provide access to digital technologies and competencies; provide access to infrastructure and tests digital innovations (“test before invest”); provide development playground...

2. CropSAT – opportunities for applications in precision agriculture in AfricaThe present paper aims at describing the CropSAT system, a Sentinel-2-based interactive decision support system (DSS) that provides vegetation index (VI) maps free-of-charge all across the globe for different applications in precision agriculture. We summarize research results from the ongoing developmental process and pointing to opportunities for development and application in precision agriculture in Africa. The DSS was initially developed in a research project at the Swedish University of... O. Alshihabi, I. Nouiri, M. Mechri, H. Angar, K. Piikki, J. Martinsson, M. Söderström |

4. Development and Validation of an Algorithm for Optical Sensor-based Nitrogen Fertilization for Durum Wheat in Central Ethiopia I. Algorithm DevelopmentMonitoring in-season nitrogen (N) management using proximal optical sensors is often considered highly cost-effective and efficient. Developing a successful sensor-based algorithm to optimize in-season N application for durum wheat could enhance productivity and nitrogen use efficiency. This study aimed to develop and validate a sensor-based algorithm for N fertilization of durum wheat in central Ethiopia. The developed algorithm is based on the prediction of total N uptake from normalized difference... S. Endris, T. Mesfin, O. Atnafu, S. Tamiru |
5. Design and Development of a LoRa Communication System for Scalable Smart Irrigation SystemsSmart irrigation is a promising tool to optimize irrigation water use but is still faced with challenges related to usability and applicability attributed to several constraints such as high initial costs, complex user interface, poor connectivity, limited farm coverage, etc. This study aimed to solve some of these issues through the development and testing of a LoRa communication system using a Raspberry Pi 4, LoRa HAT concentrator, and Strega smart valve at the Makerere University Agricultural...
