Abstract
Big data and cloud computing technologies have become popular technologies for information processing across different sectors of the economies including agriculture. This chapter aims to examine the usage of big data and cloud computing in Sub-Saharan African agriculture. According to literature, agriculture in Africa generally faces production challenges and this is attributed to limitations in information access and processing, coupled with farmers' reluctance to adopt new farming practices and digital technologies. After a review of literature on the use of these technologies in Africa, the chapter proposed an integrated model for supporting agriculture through big data and cloud computing.
