Olivier Mendoo from Cameroon and Tungamirai Eric Mupona from Zimbabwe, PhD students at Peking University, are swapping lecture halls for green fields in Zhejiang Province! 🚜 Their mission? To uncover how China’s rural revitalization strategies and cutting-edge agricultural tech could shape Africa’s future.
The duo visited high-tech farms in Lishui County, where drones monitor crops and smart sensors optimize water usage—think ‘Black Panther’ meets farming. 🌾 Olivier told us: Africa needs sustainable solutions. China’s mix of tech and grassroots governance is a blueprint.
China’s rural areas contribute over 25% of its GDP, blending tradition with AI-driven innovation. For young Africans like Olivier and Tungamirai, this trip isn’t just about crops—it’s about cross-continental collaboration. 🤝
