Ag-celerate Podcast Ep.04 -Digitalisation 301: Leveraging Agriculture Transformation for Smallholder Farmers

According to FAO, smallholder farmers are estimated to provide up to 80% of the food consumed in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and account for a significant share of agricultural production in other regions. Despite smallholder farms’ key role in achieving global food security and nutrition, they are a vulnerable group not privy to technological advancements in agriculture. This episode will discuss how agricultural transformation can improve productivity and profitability for smallholder farmers and how they can leverage technologies for the sustainable development of rural communities. We will also discuss how stakeholders such as governments, the private sector, and development partners can collaborate to support smallholder farmers and enable them to participate fully in the agricultural transformation process.
