Prioritizing policy actions for accelerating digital transformation of the agrifood system depends on the specific characteristics of a country and the levels of its agricultural and digital development. Digital Agriculture Profiles (DAPs) seek to provide a rapid assessment of the state of agricultural and digital development in a country and identify public policy entry points to maximize the efficiency, equity, and environmental sustainability of digital transformation of the agrifood system. The profiles assess digital development in a country, key constraints in agriculture and the potential of the selected digital technologies to address these key constraints. The BBL will feature DAP methodology and five pilot DAPs – for Argentina, Grenada, Kenya, Turkey and Vietnam - developed as part of the global study on digital agriculture ‘What’s Cooking: Digital Transformation of the Agri-Food System’, under the umbrella of the World Bank Digital Development Partnership in digital agriculture.

In this webinar, speakers will share the key findings on the state of digital agriculture in Turkey and Vietnam, reflect on the main lessons learned during the preparation of the Profiles and discuss how DAPs can support investment projects in the client countries.
