Africa urged to scale up farm technology beyond pilot projects

افریقہ سے زرعی ٹیکنالوجی کو تجرباتی منصوبوں سے آگے بڑھانے پر زور

अफ़्रीका से कृषि तकनीक को पायलट परियोजनाओं से आगे बढ़ाने की अपील

Africa urged to scale up farm technology beyond pilot projects

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Africa must move farm technology beyond small pilot projects and into the hands of ordinary farmers, the head of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said at a science forum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
  • Qu Dongyu said limited investment is holding back climate-resilient crops, livestock technology and digital farming, even though tools such as artificial intelligence, satellites and data-based pest forecasts are now available.
  • Africa accounts for only about 8 percent of global public spending on agricultural research, and internet use in the region stands at just 36 percent, compared with 74 percent worldwide.
  • اقوام متحدہ کی خوراک و زراعت تنظیم کے سربراہ نے ایتھوپیا کے دارالحکومت ادیس ابابا میں ایک سائنسی فورم میں کہا ہے کہ افریقہ کو زرعی ٹیکنالوجی کو چھوٹے تجرباتی منصوبوں سے آگے لے جا کر عام کسانوں تک پہنچانا ہوگا۔ کو ڈونگیو نے کہا کہ محدود سرمایہ کاری موسمیاتی تبدیلی سے محفوظ فصلوں، مویشیوں کی ٹیکنالوجی اور ڈیجیٹل کاشتکاری کو آگے بڑھنے سے روک رہی ہے، حالانکہ مصنوعی ذہانت، سیٹلائٹ اور ڈیٹا پر مبنی کیڑوں کی پیش گوئی جیسے آلات اب دستیاب ہیں۔ افریقہ زرعی تحقیق پر عالمی سرکاری اخراجات کا صرف تقریباً 8 فیصد خرچ کرتا ہے، اور خطے میں انٹرنیٹ کا استعمال صرف 36 فیصد ہے، جبکہ دنیا بھر میں یہ 74 فیصد ہے۔
  • संयुक्त राष्ट्र के खाद्य और कृषि संगठन के प्रमुख ने इथियोपिया की राजधानी अदीस अबाबा में एक विज्ञान मंच पर कहा है कि अफ़्रीका को कृषि तकनीक को छोटे पायलट परियोजनाओं से आगे ले जाकर आम किसानों तक पहुँचाना होगा। क्यू डोंग्यू ने कहा कि सीमित निवेश जलवायु-सहनशील फ़सलों, पशुधन तकनीक और डिजिटल खेती को आगे बढ़ने से रोक रहा है, हालाँकि कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, उपग्रह और डेटा-आधारित कीट पूर्वानुमान जैसे उपकरण अब उपलब्ध हैं। अफ़्रीका कृषि अनुसंधान पर वैश्विक सार्वजनिक खर्च का केवल लगभग 8 प्रतिशत खर्च करता है, और क्षेत्र में इंटरनेट का उपयोग केवल 36 प्रतिशत है, जबकि दुनिया भर में यह 74 प्रतिशत है।
