About the session:
Enabling the digital transformation of food systems requires building an ecosystem that includes three interlinked pillars: a data ecosystem for both governments and innovators; an AgTech/Start-up ecosystem for supporting content and solution creation and enabling effective service delivery; and institutional innovation by the government in collaboration with the private sector for data-driven decision making and the scaling up of innovation.

The World Bank is currently developing operations in 29 countries where it is supporting the development of digital agriculture ecosystems. But building an ecosystem takes time. The scattered stakeholder landscape makes the scaling up of innovation particularly difficult, and opportunities offered by digital technologies to unlock the potential of millions of farmers are not exploited. The World Bank is working with global public and private partners to develop frameworks for cooperation to leverage global knowledge and capacity to help countries leapfrog their way through the digital transformation of their agro-food systems.

In this session the panelists will discuss:
•     How to leverage global capacity to fast track the development of the local digital agriculture ecosystem?
•    What institutional innovations are needed to deal with constraints to such partnerships (such as data sharing)?
•    What is the role of an institution like the World Bank to help support the scaling up of digital services to smallholder farmers?
