Leading women in digitalisation for agriculture

Women continue to play an increasing role in the D4Ag ecosystem, developing and managing businesses and leading core initiatives.

International Women’s Day 2023 was an opportune moment to spotlight and celebrate the milestones achieved by women leading #D4Ag initiatives in low- and middle-income countries. 

D4AG solutions deployed in Near East and north africa (NENA) REGION

Digital solutions are at the heart of agriculture transformation towards more inclusive, sustainable, efficient and resilient agrifood systems, amidst rising challenges of climate change in the NENA region.

The Digital Agri Hub participated in the Digital Agriculture Solutions Forum 2023 in the NENA region hosted by FAO and ITU in Amman, Jordan (July 11-13, 2023).  Land and water resources in NENA are limited and facing severe stress. Climate change projections suggest more drought and extreme events. This latest regional focus in NENA features 72 D4Ag solutions deployed in 13 low and medium-income countries (LMICs) that are utilising state-of-art technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), IoT devices and connectivity promoting climate-resilient agriculture.
