Mogadishu, SONNA – Close to 50 young Somali students participating in the Internet of Things (IoT) Training Program in Modern Agriculture conducted a practical study tour to the experimental farms managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI), as part of efforts to integrate technology-driven solutions into Somalia’s agricultural transformation.

The well-coordinated visit offered students an opportunity to experience first-hand how emerging agricultural technologies are being applied to enhance productivity and sustainability in Somalia. The students explored key installations within the Ministry’s experimental farms, including modern greenhouses, soilless hydroponics systems, advanced seed testing sites, drip irrigation setups, and the Ministry’s weather forecasting and data collection tools.

According to Ministry officials, the objective of the visit was to inspire Somali youth to utilize IoT applications to address critical challenges in the country’s agricultural sector, including improving crop yields, optimizing resource use, and ensuring food security.

The IoT training program is part of a broader government strategy to promote innovation and digital transformation in key economic sectors. Students were encouraged to develop practical, locally adapted solutions using smart farming techniques and data-driven decision-making.

The Ministry underscored its commitment to equipping young professionals with the skills needed to lead Somalia’s agricultural modernization, contributing to national development and long-term food security.
