Digital technologies and solutions are increasingly important in
revolutionizing agriculture food systems in low- and middle-income countries
(LMICs). The drive towards promoting digitalization for agriculture (D4Ag)
among small-scale producers in LMICs is relentless. Therefore, it is crucial to
take a factual, objective, and measured approach to identify and possibly
overcome potential stereotypes.
On Monday 17 April, the Digital Agri Hub is
launching the 4th of a series of e-conversations on what it considers as
potential clichés in the D4Ag domain. The exchanges are hosted on the Digitalisation
for Agriculture or D4Ag dgroup which you are welcome to join.
The outcome of the exchanges may lead to a more objective, prudent and
realistic attitude on how to approach and present gender inclusion in D4Ag
projects in LMICs. It can also open new avenues which could help solving issues
that are at the basis of potential stereotypes.
The 3rd e-conversation on whether “smart farming is raising justifiable
expectations” has come to an end, and its summary is now available on the D4Ag dgroup’s wiki (login
required) or on The Hub
events’ page.
The forthcoming e-conversation Starting on Monday 17 April, 2023, will
address the following question: “Is gender inclusion in the framework of
D4Ag projects a genuine need based on objective assessments, or an
indispensable component to satisfy donors’ expectations?”
Each e-conversation topic is well framed via an initial message posted
on the D4Ag group to kickstart the reflections. The subsequent topic will be
launched once the exchanges about the preceding one are completed, and so on.
Summaries of the exchanges are shared.
