Connect rural areas with digital innovations to unlock climate resilience for hundreds of millions of farmers (CIMMYT)
CIMMYT published a post by Jawoo Koo, IFPRI, and Andrea Gardeazabal, CIMMYT, who explained how smallholders in Africa, Asia, and Latin America will benefit from the CGIAR Initiative for Digital Innovation. Research shows that digital innovations can increase small-scale farmers’ incomes, boost the adoption of better practices, and increase resilience to climate shocks while reducing the gender gap and managing food system risks. However, these benefits are not universal. A new CGIAR Research Initiative, Digital Innovation, has been launched to research pathways to bridge this digital divide, improve the quality of information systems, and strengthen local capacities to realize the potential of digital technologies.
