This session explores how AfriScout Regen, a community-led regenerative grazing platform operating across Ethiopia and northern Kenya, is bridging Indigenous knowledge systems and modern remote sensing technology to strengthen rangeland resilience and pastoral livelihoods.

Bringing together practitioners, community representatives, policy experts, and a digital innovation expert, the panel unpacks what it takes to scale such tools across geographies while addressing data sovereignty, community consent, policy integration, and the critical risk of leaving communities behind when technology moves on. The session makes clear that community ownership is non-negotiable, governance is the bridge between knowledge systems, and technology should augment – never replace – what pastoralists already know.
