I just don't get it. Can a return of more than 20% per annum in USD yield be achieved while lending to smallholder farmers in rural Kenya? CONTEXT: An impact investor wants to give us debt at 14-18% per annum in USD to lend to farmers. Now, add in foreign currency exchange

The technology and pesticides to tackle desert locust stayed stagnant for decades. Great to see much needed progress and our #UKAID funded ‘attack drones’ mentioned. @rwomivan @AstralAerial @OchiengVio @FrontierTechHub.
By comparing satellite readings with massive data sets from ground sensors, as well as the ample historical record, researchers are building statistical models to better predict which locust nests pose the greatest risk https://t.co/QX8WpJIaMe 👇
