The agricultural sector is playing a crucial role in nourishing the world’s growing and increasing population with evolving food preferences. As the populations grow and incomes rise, the demand for safe, nutritious and affordable food will also increase. 

This webinar highlights how sustainable and scalable data use can empower smallholder farmers and contribute to answer agricultural sector’s challenges. GIZ and agri-tech players from Africa, South Asia, and Latin America shared their experience and lessons learned, including a live demonstration on how data-based digital solutions can guide smallholder farmers’ decision-making process in adopting more productive and sustainable practices, as well as provide better access to markets, to enhance their livelihood. 

This event also serves as a platform to exchange knowledge and lessons learned between international and Indonesian agri-tech players on the potential of digital technologies in delivering positive impact across the agricultural and food sector. 

This webinar was held as part of the Cultivhacktion: Indonesia Digital Agriculture Hackathon, which sought to crowdsource technological solutions in order to accelerate the digitization of the agricultural ecosystem in Indonesia.
