Description
In a cultural centre in Abidjan, dozens of Ivorian students divided into teams are competing to build robots for the farms of the future in the world's top cocoa-producing nation. The competition is part of a broader trend aimed at integrating technology into agriculture, a pillar of the Ivorian economy. "My passion for robotics has increased my desire to improve the conditions in which my parents used to farm," says Pele Ouattara, a student at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny National Polytechnic Institute (INPHB) and the son of farmers.
