Booklet

Digital innovation strategy for agrifood systems in Africa
Abridged version 2021–2025
2022

Also available in:

No results found.

The Digital Innovation Strategy (DIS) of the Regional Office for Africa (RAF) of FAO has been prepared to respond to critical challenges facing inclusive and sustainable agrifood system transformation in sub-Saharan Africa. It is enshrined in the new Strategic framework 2022–2030 that aims to accelerate the "transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agri-food systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind". A stronger infusion of digital technologies across operations and programmes of FAO RAF is vital for the region to successfully implement the Africa Regional Initiatives, RAF's Programmes Priority Areas (PPA) and support countries to achieve the AU Malabo Commitments and SDGs. The Strategy evolves around three strategic pillars which seek to: - Improve use of quality data for country planning (Insight). - Develop internal digital agriculture capacity to effectively support food systems transformation (Interact). - Support inclusive national and regional digital agriculture ecosystems (Impact).

Feasibility study for application of digital technologies for improved traceability and transparency along the agrifood value chains
Case studies in the Near East and North Africa Region
2023

Also available in:

No results found.

“Agrifood value chains of small and medium-sized producers in the Near East and North Africa region have the potential to generate more value through improved access to high-value markets. Limited logistics capacity in the region, coupled with lack of access to continuous cold chain, has resulted in weak supply chain management, high level of food loss, lack of compliance with food quality and safety standards; information asymmetries; and unfair value distribution, affecting income and livelihood of small and medium-sized producers. Improving traceability and transparency along the agrifood value chains can help building consumers' trust by better tracking the origin of food, identifying, detecting and mitigating the impact of food safety and quality issues in a timely manner and enhancing price visibility and information sharing on value distribution in each stage of the value chain. Digital technologies can play an important role in enhancing traceability and transparency by ensuring the collection of comprehensive, consistent and reliable data along the supply chain, real-time tracking, easy aggregation, integration, analysis and sharing of data. Despite the recognition of game changing potential, few studies have analysed the feasibility of application of these technologies to improve traceability and transparency of value chains, from farm-gate to market, in the region. To fill this gap in knowledge, this study was conducted to understand the digital landscape in the region, examine barriers and incentives for uptake of these technologies and to propose solutions that can improve the adoption rate and sustainability of digital technologies for small and medium-sized producers.”

Making trade safe by harmonizing electronic data exchange 2024

Also available in:

The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) sets forth in its Strategic Framework 2020-2030, eight development agenda items to achieve its objectives, one of which is the harmonization of electronic data exchange by digitizing the production and exchange of phytosanitary certificates through the IPPC ePhyto Solution. ePhyto facilitates safer, faster and more cost-effective trade in plants and plant products and help protect plants from pests. Since its inception in 2019, more than three million ePhyto certificates have been exchanged among trading countries. This brochure serves as a resource mobilization tool to sustain the ePhyto systems and processes, and to enjoin other countries to adopt the IPPC ePhyto Solution. The brochure will serve to mobilize resources for funding the IPPC ePhyto Solution, a web-based system that digitizes the process of issuing and exchanging phytosanitary certificates, replacing paper certificates with digital certificates called ePhytos. The digitalization process facilitates international trade of plants, plant products and regulated articles by simplifying trade, reducing business transaction costs, expediting clearance of compliant products and eliminating fraud, thus reducing risks of spreading plant pests. Safer trade helps prevent the entry and spread of pests, thus helping achieve food security, protect the environment, livelihoods and economies.
