Nutritional analysis, soil science and pathology testing. If farming is not the first thing you think of when you come across these phrases, then you’re probably as oblivious as I was a few weeks ago.

Earlier this month, I was in Naivasha on an excursion that turned out to be more educational than I expected. Now I can start to understand the fascination with agribusiness and specifically where farming and technology intersect. I have to say though, I am not one of those people who boast of green fingers, neither am I endlessly captivated with watching plants germinate and flourish.
