Ethiopia's agriculture sector, a cornerstone of its economy, employs over 70% of the population, but is hampered by generic fertilizer advice and a $1.1 billion USD annual fertilizer import bill. Yet, an innovative digital tool offers a solution - the Harmonized Digital Fertilizer and Agronomic Solutions (HaFAS), integrates advanced data to deliver precise, site-specific fertilizer and agro-advisory recommendations. The innovations’ bold ambition to reach 6.85 million farmers by 2040 (including 2.05 million women and 2.74 million youth), would boost national cereal production from 31.6 million to 140 million metric tons and enhance food security and economic resilience.
