Good practices in the field of digital agriculture - Stocktaking report
2021Also available in:
No results found.The present report is the outcome of the joint call on good practices on Digital Excellence in Agriculture, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Office for Europe and Office for CIS and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Office for Europe and Central Asia. The document presents a summary version of the 171 eligible submissions of good practices and innovative solutions advancing the digital transformation of agriculture in Europe and Central Asia. This call complements the joint FAO-ITU review on the Status of Digital Agriculture in 18 countries of Europe and Central Asia (ITU-FAO, 2020)1 and provides evidence on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) play an emerging role in the agriculture landscapes of the regions, acting as an engine for agricultural development. However, the adoption of digital technologies in agriculture differs from country to country, and from region to region. The review in the 18 countries highlighted that smallholder farmers have yet to experience the widespread benefits of this digital transformation, and they are lagging behind when it comes to the adoption of digital agriculture solutions and innovations due to lack of trust in the potential of ICTs, limited digital skills, connectivity issues and restricted availability of ICT-based solutions to utilize and scale up. Realizing the full potential of digital agriculture transformation requires identifying, sharing and implementing best practices and proven solutions across countries, involving all actors in participatory processes. -

At present there are 37 member countries of the IPC, of which 14 are developing countries and five are countries with economies in transition. IPC Sessions are held every four years. The previous meeting was in Budapest, Hungary in 1996. Five Working Parties as subsidiary bodies of the IPC reflect the main issues concerning the cultivation and utilization of the Salicaceae including (i) Poplar and Willow Genetics, Conservation and Improvement; (ii) Poplar and Willow Diseases; (iii) Poplar and Willow Insect and Animal Pests; (iv) Production Systems and Environmental Applications for Poplars and Willows; and (v) Logging and Utilization of Poplar and Willow Wood.
