The Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) has said that if there is a sustainable use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country without restrictions then agriculture in this country can grow rapidly and be productive for the individual farmer and the Nation as a whole. This was stated by Prof. Wulystan Mtega from the Department of informatics and Information technology while giving a speech on behalf of the Principal of the College of Natural and Applied Sciences (CoNAS) at Solomon Mahlangu Campus. This was done on 24 May 2022 at the opening of the two-day workshop organized by the ‘SUA YEESI Lab’ Project which enables young innovators to use smart technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence & machine learning, machine vision, Internet of Things, precision agriculture etc) in solving various challenges in agriculture.
