Description:
As part of one CGIAR research for development initiative on Digital Innovation (DI), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) along with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is organizing the Stakeholder Engagement on Leveraging Digital Solutions in Agricultural Extension: Pathways to Inclusive and Sustainable Farming. One CGIAR’s DI Initiative coordinates digital research across CGIAR Initiatives, fostering collaboration and synergy to enable an inclusive, holistic, and impactful approach to digital innovations in agrifood systems. During the stakeholder engagement, we aim to map the landscape of digital extension services in Odisha by identifying key stakeholders and actors and assessing the opportunities and challenges in scaling up inclusive AI-driven agriculture extension services that address the needs of smallholder farmers, women, and marginalized communities. We aim to identify digital innovators' data infrastructure and analytical needs, and brainstorm inclusive and scalable business models for digital extension services to enhance the efficiency of digital extension agricultural tools and platforms, ultimately driving productivity and resilience in farming systems.
