Rada And Satnav Africa JPO To Transform African Agriculture With GNSS

Rada, a Tanzanian space tech innovator, and SatNav Africa JPO, a leading advocate for satellite navigation in Africa, have joined forces to revolutionize African agriculture through Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).

SatNav Africa JPO’s expertise in GNSS and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) services, utilizing advanced European solutions like EGNOS and Galileo, will significantly enhance the accuracy and reliability of satellite navigation signals, crucial for precision farming techniques.

This partnership is to transform African agriculture by enabling farmers to adopt GNSS technology for increased productivity, reduced waste, and lower costs, ultimately contributing to food security and economic growth. Furthermore, the integration of GNSS into precision agriculture will allow for more efficient resource management, mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing the carbon footprint of farming activities.
