Tech4agri is a youth-driven media startup that leverages its status as a social enterprise that uses journalistic activity in support of the growth of the Caribbean agriculture Industry . “In other words we have big ambitions,” – says Keron Bascombe, creator and editor of Tech4agri.com which is based in Trinidad.
He added that “our four year old, award winning blog acts as a platform to assist persons in realizing the multitude of technological application that exists in agriculture, and to assist in the development of young agripreneurs by empowering them through the provision of an interesting and innovative agri-information service.”
Recently the Tech4agri team begun filming a youth-oriented web series that features climate change issues, agriculture innovation, technology, successes and features the people who forge sustainable livelihoods in this all important field.
This series is made through the use of an iPad Mini, iPhones and a drone. “This production also illustrates what we have already been able to accomplish with mobile journalism. For me personally Tech4agri has is merging two of main interests in my life, agribusiness and videography,” said Renaldo Matamoro, Videographer and Producer – Tech4agri.com
We believe our business efforts via our intended web series can be used as an outlet for young persons in the field as a career path. The team emphasizes that agri-youth are often neglected.
