Synopsis (short abstract) The ATIO Knowledge Base (KB) is a global, open-access digital platform developed under FAO’s Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) strategy to catalogue and analyze agrifood system innovations. Designed to support policymakers, researchers, producers, and private sector actors, the KB integrates formal and grassroots data through a federated and crowdsourced model. It features AI-assisted content harvesting, a semantic backbone for intelligent search, and holistic metadata to assess innovation readiness, sustainability, and cultural relevance, ultimately accelerating inclusive and evidence-based agrifood transformation.

    This report presents the outcomes of a consultation process led by FAO’s Office of Innovation to co-design the ATIO Knowledge Base (KB), a participatory, open-access platform for agrifood system innovations. Through expert consultations, e-discussions, and user journey testing, stakeholders from diverse sectors shaped the KB’s design, content model, interface, and governance. Key recommendations emphasize user-centered search experiences, inclusive taxonomies, grassroots innovation integration, and ethical data stewardship. The consultation affirmed that the ATIO KB is not just a technical tool, but a collaborative ecosystem to foster equitable, context-sensitive innovation in agrifood systems.
