Digital Transformation in Agri-food Systems Civil

Digital Transformation in Agri-food Systems Civil

Web page from Colombia's South-South Cooperation Portfolio presenting a good practice developed by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) to strengthen decision-making by small and medium-sized agricultural producers. The system collects biophysical data through open-access tools, integrates meteorological and soil information, applies models to identify or anticipate limiting factors, and disseminates the results through agroclimatic bulletins and stakeholder exchange spaces. The source reports that this information guides producers on what, where and when to plant, improves their knowledge of climate, soil and crop management, reduces losses, and strengthens climate change adaptation and resilience.
