A year ago I met Ibrahima a 72-year-old farmer father of 17 kids, 3 boys and 14 girls. He was tired and frustrated because he had just lost all his crop of potatoes that had rotten in the open air. This story is not unique to Ibrahima because according to FAO the majority of African farmers lose up to 70% of their stocks due to lack of preservation system. What frustrates me is that Africa is hungry even though it is the largest producer in the world. It would be enough to solve the problem of preservation so that Africa is satiated. As a young african woman I get involved to find a solution to this scourge the solution is TSG (The Smart Granary) is a smart attic made from recycled plastics that will ventilate and water fruits and vegetables automatically to convert heat into freshness thanks to new technologies and all is powered with energy solar. And that will allow farmers to keep their stocks much longer in order to save time for selling their products (fruits and vegetables). I have already tested with a farmer who grows mangoes and he was able save 70% of his crops while he was making a yield of 33 % . Next steps we want to add triggers pesticides natural and deploy this system with 30 farmers in 6 months.
