know women from areas such as well as you know that i talk to in this technology to be able to increase. their income of the across. these positive signs aside there are still challenges in rural africa isn't there when it comes to farmers access in to access in technology and appreciating. what we have learned over the years is that the problem the biggest problem. is we. actually saw that solution you know most of the solutions that we've been promoting i funded by june. and they have this on project so from all the pollution farmers you know tell me the enjoy anything to help them to have access to real time they're good at going to make practices but at the end

of the project you know they said there's a problem of paying for the solution since the project has come to an end you know so that has been the problem it's not so much about other things that people talk about it's about how do we so sustain the provision of these solutions to the families so far my subsume the benefits the enjoy nice because the. most of the solutions are project based solutions they don't survive they don't they don't follow and that is the big issue this sustainability of of these solutions as you are promoting from it. is technology and innovation actually helping to attract more young people to some. yes we have seen that yet see that we rush to dies and we have some of the young the you do not recover that are technology savvy that are actually be looking to do just
