<div dir="auto">AgriLab is an innovative social enterprise that seeks to revolutionise agricultural productivity in Africa by utilising the synergy of high yield and data. We do this by farming the most demanded vegetable crop in Africa, tomato, in solar powered greenhouses with IoT sensors tracking farm data and a blockchain technology storing them. The cumulative results of these is 10 times more productivity and 90% less risk of food borne diseases ensuring not only quality but also food safety and security in the Ghana and Nigeria, two countries with the most need for quality tomatoes in Africa. At the core of our vision is the youth who we partner with to build communities of change and influence, one greenhouse farm at a time. AgriLab was founded by four passionate students from Ghana with a thirst to transform the status quo of agriculture in Africa.</div>
