A burning desire to change the labor-intensive and weather-reliant nature of smallholder farming sparked Lilian Ndungu to advocate for technology in farming, a move that has defined her career. Currently, Lilian works as an Agriculture Technology and Policy Advisor at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change in Rwanda, where she has worked with governments in eastern and southern Africa to make sustainable investments in appropriate technology for agriculture transformation. Her focus area is on improving the design of frameworks for gender-inclusive digital agriculture policies and creating guidelines for their sustainable implementation.
