Hi M, I am glad to see that you are planning your education ahead. Agricultural Engineering is a very interesting field of study and it is particularly useful in African countries where most economic activities are agricultural based. It is important to have well engineered agricultural systems to produce better and healthier crops and vegetables as well as protect the earth from climate change.
I am not sure if Agricultural Engineering is offered in Dakar Senegal. However, I have found the link for Cheikh Anta Diop University. You might want to check out their website. The website is French and I am sure you do speak French. You can contact them to learn more about where the program is given in the Dakar area.
Also, I have added a link for you to look at what Agricultural Engineering is all about. See below in the optional steps.
I wish you all the best,
Solomon

I'm delighted that you've posed such a fantastic question. The realm of agriculture is a largely uncharted territory for self-education.
This expansive field may seem daunting, but I assure you that there's a wealth of opportunities just waiting to be discovered. You can make a real difference in addressing the everyday challenges faced by farmers.
1. Consider the digitization of agriculture. This is a burgeoning field with endless potential.
2. Look at how technology can streamline the transportation of goods from farm to market. The entire life cycle, from crop cultivation and livestock rearing to food processing, packaging, distribution, consumption, and waste management, can be optimized. Identify where you can make a technological contribution.
3. Strive to simplify the consumer's journey to agricultural products, making them more easily accessible.
4. Seek out projects where you can make a difference. You could work on small-scale projects or develop simulators to tackle everyday farming issues.
5. Engage in discussions about technological innovations that could shape the future of farming.
6. Conduct research into these areas. For instance, look into crops that are being genetically modified to photosynthesize more efficiently, or to be more resilient to heat and drought. These are pressing issues in the face of our rapidly changing climate.
7. Explore how agricultural waste can be repurposed through technology. This is yet another area ripe for exploration.
Remember, every step you take in this field not only enriches your knowledge but also contributes to a more sustainable and efficient agricultural future.
