Tech4agri: the Webseries Hello Tomorrow Challenge Application

What is the problem?

1. Need for improved accessibility to agri-

related information

2. Lack of a stable support system for agriyouth

3. A generally negative perception of

agriculture

4. On the international stage, limited

information is available concerning

Caribbean agricultural endeavours

The Solution

Tech4Agri proposes to create an online video series, innovatively created using mobile and drone journalism made by youth for youth in

agriculture, acting as an information source and transforming the overall outlook of the

agricultural sector.

Use of Technology

Mobile journalism is an emerging form of new media storytelling where reporters use portable

electronic devices with network connectivity to gather, edit and distribute news from his or her

community.

Drone journalism is the use of drones, or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), for journalistic

purposes.
