FAO DIGITAL FOR IMPACT 2022

46

Digital transformation in action

FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2022

Seizing the unique momentum of these days of intensive dialogue, networking and investment- pitching aimed at addressing the world’s growing food crisis, FAO took a bold action in organizing two important side events on digital. The first side event focused on "AgroInformatics: Actionable Data for farmers and decision makers", while the second was a main session of the Forum on "Digitalization of Agrifood Systems" with the presence of the FAO Director-General and the Chief Economist.

The aim of these events was to promote constructive dialogue

and exchanges of best practices to enhance the undeniable potential of digital technologies for the agriculture of the future and to explore new joint solutions. Through an emphasis on science, technology and innovation, both events offered an international and inclusive platform to spark discussions on the transformation and modernization of agrifood systems and showcased concrete examples of digital technologies that are accelerating the achievement of the SDGs and the FAO four betters.
