This is an interview between Dr John Campbell and David Davies of AgUnity. The first few minutes are about Covid but the rest of this incredible interview is about how AgUnity makes it possible for poor farmers in developing nations to work co-operatively with their villages and, for example, the Fair Trade organisation, to better their lives.
How? By providing the farmers with a very cheap, specially tailored smart phone.
This is smart tech. And yes, the bloke with the tan is an Aussie. 😀 To find out more about AgUnity, visit their website http://www.agunity.com or contact them via hello@agunity.com.

One of the things that I love about this is how simple the solutions can be. Some of the problems that the world faces can be solved (or mitigated) with thinking outside the box and a bit of innovation. A great use of technology! Thanks for sharing some good news. 🙂

Yes. Exactly! That’s what heartened me as well. It’s so easy to forget that we have the capacity to do great good with our opposable thumbs. 🙂

i watched this yesterday and was really impressed. And Davies seems like such a nice guy too! I was intrigued by his career path ~ from high level data analysis with large corporate banks to helping farmers in developing nations. His comments about the covid data in the first part of the interview were interesting too. He obviously knows his apples!

Yes! That was my impression of Davies too. So quintessentially Aussie and yet so obviously dedicated to an ideal. I mean, you don’t leave a high flying, high paying career unless there are depths to your/his character that simply don’t show in that easy going manner. I was very impressed, both with him and with the solution he and his people developed.
