In rural Kenya, most women use a hoe for their agricultural activities, a default sign of agriculture. This portrays a depilated farming activities that women on the continent face. In Africa 70 per cent of food is grown by women who are smallholder farmers.

The continent’s population is expected to double by 2050, meaning it will require enormous effort to feed the people.
Experts suggest that its time the continent ditch the hoe in favour of modern technology, which will complete the same tasks far more efficiently.
