Sans plus attendre, découvrez le tout premier podcast du Club CIC International sur le secteur de l’AgriTech en Thaïlande.  Quelles sont les volontés gouvernementales ? Quels sont les besoins de ce secteur ? Notre Directeur du Bureau de Représentation à Bangkok nous explique cela...

#1 Thaïlande - AgriTech

Sushma Shankar is an engineer and the co-founder of Deep Planet, an agritech company that uses satellite data to help farmers get the best out of their land in the face of climate change. 
The company was born out of a conversation in the pub where Sushma and her co-founders, Natalia Efremova and David Carter, had gathered after their Oxford Executive MBA course. Their aim was to use their combined knowledge and experience for the benefit of the planet and the people who look after it. Sushma talks to Kathy about her journey from demonstrating the world’s first 4G phone call to leading a pioneering tech company. And she reflects on the challenges of being a female leader in a sector traditionally dominated by men.

How do you scale support for smallholder farmers, in hard to reach locations, harvesting a slow maturing crop?

Social Impact Pioneer Christina Mawuse Gyisun, Co-Founder of Sommalife, joins us to talk about the shea industry in West Africa and how she and her team are increasing market access, and securing the future of an industry, by better supporting female smallholder farmers.
Though women shea nut farmers provide a crucial raw ingredient to the $430 billion beauty industry, many live in extreme poverty, struggle with limited access to markets, and face the devastating impacts of climate change. Sommalifeis changing the game with a bespoke tech platform that digitizes operations, connects farmers to buyers, and empowers them as environmental stewards.

The Problem: Systemic Exclusion & Environmental Threats
In West Africa, 60 million women smallholder farmers depend on raw commodities like shea nuts for survival. Yet, these farmers are often left out of formal markets, limited to selling their crop for low prices. Meanwhile, the shea tree—a lifeline for many communities—is at risk due to deforestation and vulnerable to climate change. In Ghana alone, 90% of charcoal production comes from shea trees, threatening both economic livelihoods and biodiversity.

The Solution: Technology, Traceability & Market Access
Sommalife has developed a bespoke digital platform to connect farmers directly to international buyers, ensuring fair prices and financial stability. Since 2020, the enterprise has:
✅ Digitised operations for 110,000 farmers
✅ Increased income by 23% for 40,000 women
✅ Protected 1,500+ acres of shea trees
By leveraging AI and traceability technology, Sommalife enables ethical sourcing, ensuring that farmers benefit from global sustainability initiatives. This innovation aligns with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D), which mandates supply chain transparency.

Call to Action: Investing in Social Impact
To scale this success, funding, collaboration, and corporate partnerships are crucial. Companies and investors looking to create real change can support ethical sourcing initiatives that protect the environment while improving livelihoods.
As a Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneur of 2025, Mawuse is proving that sustainable business can be profitable and impactful. Will your organisation be part of this movement?

La FAO en bref – 9 juin 2025

In this episode, host Dana Clouston, Head of Business Bank Sustainable Finance, explores regenerative farming and agritech with two knowledgeable voices in the field. Joining Dana are research agronomist Tom Storr from Dyson Farming, a leader in innovation within agriculture and Martin Lines, a Cambridgeshire farmer and CEO of the Nature Friendly Farming Network, known for championing biodiversity and climate resilience in agriculture.

Together, they unpack how regenerative practices can support the future of farming, the role of technology in accelerating this shift, and what it means for food systems, rural economies, and the environment. Listeners will gain insight into the practical realities of transitioning to regenerative models, the challenges of scaling innovation, and the collaborative efforts needed across finance, farming, and policy to drive meaningful change.

Whether you're a farmer, policymaker, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the future of food, this episode offers grounded perspectives and bold ideas for cultivating a more sustainable agricultural landscape.

We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people. FAO's activities comprise four main areas:

1. Putting information within reach.
2. Sharing policy expertise.
3. Providing a meeting place for nations.
4. Bringing knowledge to the field.
