Cultivating Digital Knowledge: EdTech for Sustainable Agriculture with Access Agriculture and UVU Africa 

Focus: Leadership in using digital technology to empower rural farmers—especially women and youth—with practical, localized knowledge that drives sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture. 

Guests: Dr. Paul Van Mele (Co-founder and International Director, Access Agriculture) and Lara Rosmarin Barr (Head of UVU Accelerate, UVU Africa) 

Description: This webinar explores how Access Agriculture transforms agricultural education through digital, video-based learning tailored to local languages and cultures. Farmer-to-farmer videos and mobile platforms empower rural communities—particularly women and youth—with knowledge that boosts productivity, climate resilience, and food security. We will also highlight UVU Africa’s work in South Africa, where rural female farmers receive tablets and training in digital and business skills to enhance agricultural innovation and resilience.  

Join us to learn how leadership in EdTech is making agricultural knowledge accessible, equitable, and scalable across the Global South, seeding lasting change in both fields and communities.
