Recognising the crucial role of information technology (IT) in modern agricultural practices in ensuring food security, Flexify Solutions Limited, a tech-based firm, has introduced ‘CyberAgric’, an innovative solution designed to drive food production in Nigeria.
Flexify Solutions in a release said that “CyberAgric is a cutting-edge mobile application that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to support Nigerian farmers, particularly those involved in cash crop cultivation such as cassava and maize.
“The app’s groundbreaking features include early disease detection, with the capability to identify diseases like Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) in cassava leaves within the first two weeks of infection.”
It added that by utilising smartphone cameras, farmers can capture images of their crops and receive real-time analysis and recommendations, empowering them to take proactive measures to protect their crops and ensure optimal yields, adding that CyberAgric is designed to function offline, ensuring accessibility for farmers in remote areas with limited internet connectivity.
Speaking on the significance of CyberAgric, CEO of Flexify Solutions, Johnson Oyeniyi emphasised the app’s accessibility and educational value.
According to him, our goal with CyberAgric is to ensure that every Nigerian farmer, regardless of their location or internet access, can benefit from advanced agricultural technology.
Oyeniyi noted that beyond disease detection, the app serves as an educational platform, providing farmers with the latest agricultural best practices and expert resources.
It explained that “Flexify Solutions collaborated closely with Cybermate Technologies to tailor CyberAgric to the specific needs of Nigerian farmers. The app initially focuses on cassava and maize cultivation, addressing the critical challenges faced by farmers in these sectors.
“Through advanced AI-driven disease detection capabilities, CyberAgric aims to mitigate the impact of crop diseases and enhance food security in Nigeria.”
