Knowledge Review: Digital technology for agriculture: What's in it for smallholder farmers?

  • Publication | 2022
Global Food and Nutrition Security

The Knowledge Review aims to inform policymakers and practitioners about the capacity of digital technologies and digital hubs to transform agricultural and food value chains to achieve sustainable food systems (SFS). The primary focus is on smallholder farmers, fisherfolk and pastoralists in food-insecure and low- and middle-income countries. To highlight the opportunities for and barriers to digitalisation in the agricultural sector, the review shares opportunities, key challenges and lessons learned, and recommendations gleaned from a synthesis of 34 publications.

These publications are a representative although limited proportion of the literature available on this topic, which is being updated at a very fast pace. Consequently, the knowledge presented in this review should not be considered exhaustive. Instead, it gives the key messages of the selected publications and does not necessarily reflect the position of the European Commission.
