Moderator Noara Kabir to Highlight Digitization's Impact on Renewable Energy and Agriculture in Upcoming Session at 11:15 AM

Noara Kebir, who will moderate the next session at 11.15, shares her involvement with a project focused on electrifying farms in North Africa using renewable energy. This initiative has successfully made four farms in Algeria and Morocco entirely reliant on renewable sources while also fully digitizing them. The project's unique aspect involves collecting extensive data from these farms and translating it into macro econometric models to engage politicians about the interplay between water, energy, and agriculture. Kebir emphasizes that this model showcases how digitization can significantly bolster growth within the off-grid energy sector. The upcoming session she will moderate will focus more broadly on digitization across various sectors rather than solely agriculture. Participants can expect discussions around digital tools' impacts coupled with relevant case studies. She concludes by thanking everyone involved and inviting speakers for the next session to ensure their presentations are set up correctly while encouraging attendees to take a break with refreshments available outside.
