AgrAbility for Africa

The AgrAbility for Africa staff are actively engaged in research of the latest agriculture technologies that are accessible and cost-effective to enhance participation for persons with disabilities and accessible sustainable food solutions for not only rural, but also urban communities. These tools can lessen climate change impact on farmers in Africa and at the same time enable farmers maintain their independence and productive lifestyle on the farm.

Preparations are ongoing for the second AgrAbility for Africa training workshop to take place in June 2024 in Uganda. All are welcome to support the initiative that brings together rehabilitation and assistive technology experts from the rest of the world to engage with African farmers, extension workers, academicians, and politicians to explore opportunities, build collaborations, share expertise, and experiences - all to enhance the quality of disability service care and access and support agriculture profitability and inclusion in farming across Africa.
