1st series of e-conversations: D4Ag clichés (and how to break them)
E-CONVERSATIONS ON THE DGROUPS PLATFORM
27 February - 04 May 2023
Digital innovations play a crucial enabling role in transforming agriculture and food systems in low- and middle-income countries. With the rise in the use of digital agriculture tools, it was imperative to also be more aware of the limitations of digital solutions and the entire D4Ag 'ecosystem'.
The importance of sparking conversations on certain 'stereotypes', backed by experiences shared by the D4Ag community, was recognized. Therefore, starting on 27 February 2023, the Digital Agri Hub launched and curated 4 e-conversations around potential clichés in this domain. The exchanges aimed to lead to a more objective, prudent, and realistic attitude on how to approach and present digitalization for small-scale producers in low- and middle-income countries. It also opened new avenues for solving issues that were at the basis of these possible stereotypes.

outcomes
- e-conversation #1: Small-scale producers co-designing digital solutions. A myth or reality?
- e-conversation #2: How true is the mantra that small-scale producers benefit from digitalisation?
- e-conversation #3: Is smart farming raising justifiable expectations?
- e-conversation #4: Is gender inclusion in the framework of D4Ag projects a genuine need or a must-include component to satisfy donors’ expectations?
