Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Increasing farmer’s digital agency for agroecology. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

An event of the Transformative Partnership Platform (TPP) for Agroecology and Agroecological TRANSITIONS Project (ATDT) When used responsibly, digital technologies can empower and incentive smallholder farmers to innovate for agroecological practices at larger scales than would be possible through conventional technical assistance and performance assessment methods. The purpose of this webinar is to share final recommendations and a framework for enhancing farmer agency in the use of digital tools and to promote inclusivity in farmers’ role in the co-creation of agricultural practices. The three-year, EU-IFAD funded Agroecological TRANSITIONS: Inclusive Digital Tools project will share its conclusions in this webinar with a presentation about farmer agency and co-creation of practices, followed by presentations of examples in Vietnam and Brazil, where the project developed new digital tools for implementing agroecological practices at scale and facilitated their implementation.

@AgroecologyMap digital agriculture is a way to capture always more added value from the farmers'work by the gafam and all and will not make any profit to the farmers.

@geckled It can be on large farms. But we can also build open solutions (Free Software) and collaboratively built based on agroecological values ​​(co-creation).

I recommend taking a look at this meeting, we know some of the people there and they are doing a good job.

@AgroecologyMap free software is a way to collect valuable data, specially if experts are supporting these analyses, that will be sold to third parties. Farmers better spend their time doing their job than implementing "free software".
@geckled But sharing knowledge can help many people improve the way they produce food. I agree that farmers do not necessarily have to develop software, but I see a lot of gain in co-creating and sharing knowledge openly and collaboratively. Being Free Software/Knowledge, in the original conception of the idea, knowledge remains free, open, and available.
