Agricultural Transformation Initiative- Positioning Education for the Twenty-First Century

Global trends in artificial intelligence, automation, and bioinformatics are changing agriculture. If the Agricultural Transformation Initiative’s (ATI) investments into market-driven solutions are to reap benefits for smallholder tobacco farmers, agricultural market actors and farmers must have the high-tech skills necessary to succeed in twenty-first century agriculture. ATI is investing in global partnerships to bring world-class educational opportunities to aspiring Malawians.
