Jehiel Oliver is the Founder and CEO of Hello Tractor, an agricultural technology social enterprise that connects tractor owners to farmers through an Internet-of-Things (IoT) digital solution. This solution bridges the gap between traditional farming and more technologically advanced approaches. Hello Tractor’s technology helps farmers plant in a cost-efficient way and is an innovative approach to increasing food and income security in Sub-Saharan Africa. Their platform simplifies complex data to make tractors profitable as business assets even in smallholder farming systems. On this week’s feature of GroundBreakers’ Portraits of a GroundBreaker Series, our discussion with Jehiel ranged from the impact of climate change in Africa to how local perspective and context is fundamental to successful social and economic development work.
