Abstract
Digital platforms created by foreign and local tech firms in Nairobi’s Silicon Savannah are promoted as generating opportunities for Kenyan farmers, shaping a vision of digitised agriculture. As a part of this model, the idea of a new farmer-entrepreneur embraces the availability of digital finance. LSE Fellow Gianluca Iazzolino explains these developments and asks whether it brings a social cost for those working within the agriculture sector.
