Someone you should follow...

Hey,

Welcome to Green Jobs Rising!

Today, I want to introduce you to someone worth following on LinkedIn: Maryanne Gichanga.

Ms. Gichanga is working at the intersection of AI and agriculture, with a clear mission to use technology to fight hunger and poverty across rural Africa.

Her work focuses on smallholder farmers, who form the backbone of Africa’s food systems but are often left out of data-driven decision-making. 

What sets her work apart is how she connects advanced technology to on-the-ground challenges.

Through AgriTech Analytics, Ms. Gichanga and her team combine satellite imagery, solar-powered IoT crop and soil sensors, and other data sources, then use AI to analyse this information and generate alerts and reports.

These insights are delivered directly to farmers’ mobile phones, helping them improve crop yields and reduce losses.

On her LinkedIn feed, you’ll find regular updates on her work building AgriTech Analytics and what the team is achieving on the ground.

She shares practical insights on smart agriculture, breaking down how data, AI, and digital tools can help farmers make better decisions and improve results, not just in theory, but in practice.

You’ll also see posts focused on climate resilience in farming, with a strong emphasis on soil health, land restoration, and long-term sustainability.

Along the way, she shares entrepreneurship milestones too, from awards and accelerator programmes to major progress moments, as well as the occasional feature, talk, or media mention highlighting her work.

If you’re interested in climate tech, agritech, AI for good, or building solutions that genuinely work for Africa, Ms. Gichanga’s LinkedIn feed is worth following.
