Book (series)Technical studyLeveraging automation and digitalization for precision agriculture: Evidence from the case studies
Background paper for The State of Food and Agriculture 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Digital and automation solutions for precision agriculture can improve efficiency, productivity, product quality and sustainability. Nevertheless, barriers to adoption of such solutions – including their cost, lack of knowledge and skills, and the absence of an enabling environment and infrastructure – can prevent producers from realizing these benefits. Building on findings from 22 case studies worldwide, this study finds that national data policies and infrastructure are key enablers of adoption, as is investment in connectivity (e.g. internet) and electricity in rural areas. Further research and information on the economic, environmental and social impacts of the solutions are also needed to provide evidence on their benefits. So too is investment in human capacity development, particularly digital literacy. To ensure an inclusive process, solutions must be adapted across agricultural production systems, regions and farm types. Partnerships and networks for exchanging information and promoting collaboration will key. Finally, awareness raising and communication are important since consumers can be skeptical about food being produced by new technologies. In summary, by focusing on a variety of solutions, this study provides a landscape analysis of digital and automation solutions and offers guidance to accelerate adoption for more inclusive, sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetManual / guideIntegrated chickpea crop management manual for cold winter deserts 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Chickpea, locally called “Noxut” is an important food legume embedded into numerous Uzbek cuisines. Chickpea is cultivated in all provinces of Uzbekistan on small or large areas. This is considered a secondary food crop in Uzbekistan. There is no nationally organized research and extension work on chickpea cultivation in Uzbekistan. Therefore, information on its cultivation, seed production and rural advisory services are lacking. Being a drought tolerant crop, chickpea is primarily cultivated on rainfed land in Uzbekistan. Chickpea is traditionally planted in early spring, but recent research findings show that cold tolerant chickpea varieties can be planted during autumn. The autumn planted chickpea produces higher yield than spring planted. -
