Data Collection Tools in Agrifood Systems

Revolutionizing agronomic data collection

Expanding the reach of agronomic data collection to the Global South, we aim to address the gaps in current practices, explore the necessity of standardized data to empower farmers and familiarize them with the latest tools currently available for data collection. Solutions designed to help farmers efficiently record and manage vital agronomic data will harness emerging technologies to transform the agri-food landscape.

Expectations from the collaborators: Bring fresh, creative solutions to the table and work together to share insights, expertise, and experiences, fostering a culture of mutual learning.

Incentives: Collaborators can be the first to know about the latest developments just released regarding data collection and learn ways to optimise the process. You can learn and contribute to the agriculture innovation and research efforts.
