Pioneering Agri-Innovation
Across Africa
DIS selected as Theme Lead for the TwentyforGood Agri-Innovation initiative — driving sustainable agriculture, food security, and digital transformation across the continent.
Africa's Agriculture Sector Faces an Existential Digital Gap
With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, Sub-Saharan Africa's agricultural sector faces mounting pressure to produce more food, create sustainable livelihoods, and reduce waste — all while operating largely on manual, fragmented processes.
Smallholder farmers, agri-processors, and supply chain operators lack access to integrated digital tools. Governments and development organisations need scalable policy frameworks for precision agriculture and agri-tech adoption. Talent pipelines for the new agricultural economy are underdeveloped — and the jobs of the future remain undefined.
The Scale
By 2050, global food demand increases by 60%. Africa holds 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land — yet productivity remains critically low without digital infrastructure and modernised processes.
The Gap
Most African agri-enterprises — from cooperatives to processors — run on spreadsheets, paper-based logistics, and disconnected systems. No traceability. No real-time inventory. No donor-ready reporting.
Theme Lead — Shaping Africa's Agri-Innovation Ecosystem
Digital Frontiers selected DIS as Theme Lead for the TwentyforGood Agri-Innovation initiative — a multi-stakeholder movement directing global workforce investment toward SDG-aligned job creation. DIS brings continental policy experience, enterprise digital implementation expertise, and deep sector networks to lead this work.

From Policy to Implementation — End-to-End Agricultural Digital Transformation
Most consultancies work at the policy level or the implementation level. DIS operates across both — from continental strategy to on-the-ground ERP and digital systems deployment. For agri-businesses, cooperatives, processors, and development organisations, this means a single trusted partner from planning to go-live.
