Digitalisation for agriculture (D4Ag) is the use of digital technologies, innovations, and data to transform business models and practices across the agricultural value chains. It addresses bottlenecks in, inter alia, productivity, postharvest handling, market access, finance, and supply chain management so as to achieve greater income for smallholder farmers, improve food and nutrition security, build climate resilience and expand inclusion of youth and women. In the last few years there has been a rapid evolution in D4Ag, which includes increasing use of drones, remote sensing, IoT, blockchains, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and next generation portable field diagnostic technologies. The increasing mobile phone penetration and mobile internet accessibility supported the process. The Digital Agri Hub tracks the development of the digital agriculture sector in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Acting as a multiactor knowledge broker and matchmaking platform, it focuses on inclusive digital development and provides a unique perspective towards scaling up and investing in digital agriculture innovations. This discussion group is intended for digital entrepreneurs; agricultural entrepreneurs; individuals and institutions investing in digital agriculture; international development organisations integrating digital solutions into their activities; farmers and agribusinesses deploying digital solutions; and research, policy and decision making bodies who need to understand and keep pace with the development of the sector. In order to exploit the full potential of digitalisation for agriculture, forum discussions will revolve around (but not limited to) exploring the state of digital solutions for agriculture, the opportunities for big data and analytics to drive reliable content for the solutions, addressing business development issues for the solutions, and the provision of enabling environments for digitalisation to thrive including capacity building, strategies, knowledge among others. Activities group members are welcome to promote or organise via this group include conferences, workshops, webinars or similar. Other networking opportunities, new resources, innovations, etc. are welcome to be shared via this group. Stay connected with us on social media: * Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/D4Ag_ ) * LinkedIn ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-agri-hub/ ) * Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/DigitalAgriHub )

La digitalización para la agricultura (D4Ag) es el uso de las tecnologías digitales, las innovaciones y los datos para transformar los modelos de negocio y las prácticas en las cadenas de valor agrícolas. Aborda los cuellos de botella en la productividad, los impactos en el ambiente y la salud, la manipulación postcosecha, el acceso a los mercados y financiamiento, etc., con el fin de lograr mayores ingresos, mejorar la sostenibilidad, mejorar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, crear resiliencia climática y ampliar la inclusión de agricultores y comunidades rurales. En los últimos años se ha producido una rápida evolución en D4Ag, que incluye el uso creciente de drones, teledetección, IoT, blockchains, aprendizaje automático, inteligencia artificial y tecnologías de diagnóstico de campo portátiles de próxima generación. La creciente penetración de los teléfonos móviles y la accesibilidad a Internet móvil apoyaron el proceso. Esta plataforma de intercambio está gestionada por el IICA y el Digital Agri Hub y alojada por la Fundación Dgroups. El Digital Agri Hub sigue el desarrollo del sector de la agricultura digital en los países de ingresos bajos y medios. Actuando como un intermediario de conocimiento multiactor y una plataforma de emparejamiento, se centra en el desarrollo digital inclusivo y proporciona una perspectiva única hacia la ampliación y la inversión en innovaciones agrícolas digitales. IICA tiene un fuerte enfoque en la Agricultura Digital como uno de los elementos que permitirán la transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios; entiende que las Agtechs son actores centrales en el proceso de digitalización y por eso se acerca a ellas. En materia de agricultura digital el Instituto realiza múltiples acciones en alianza con otras organizaciones como Microsoft, BID Lab, Bayer, Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina (CAF), Desarrollo de Precisión (PxD), Cooperativas de las Américas, el Departamento de Comercio Internacional, el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación, Tecnología y Telecomunicaciones (MICITT) de Costa Rica, el Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA) de Argentina, el Fondo Regional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (FONTAGRO), la Universidad de Córdoba en España y la Universidad Centofec. Este grupo de discusión está dirigido a emprendedores digitales; empresarios agrícolas; individuos e instituciones que invierten en la agricultura digital; organizaciones internacionales de desarrollo que integran soluciones digitales en sus actividades; agricultores y agroempresas que despliegan soluciones digitales; y organismos de investigación, política y toma de decisiones que necesitan entender y seguir el ritmo del desarrollo del sector. Con el fin de aprovechar todo el potencial de la digitalización para la agricultura, los debates del foro girarán en torno a (pero no se limitan a) la exploración del estado de las soluciones digitales para la agricultura, las oportunidades de los grandes datos y el análisis para impulsar un contenido fiable para las soluciones, el tratamiento de las cuestiones de desarrollo de negocios para las soluciones, y la provisión de entornos propicios para que la digitalización prospere, incluyendo la creación de capacidades, estrategias, conocimientos, entre otros.

L'omniprésence de la digitalisation transforme de façon fondamentale la façon dont les individus, les institutions et les nations échangent des informations et interagissent entre eux. Cela offre aussi une opportunité unique aux différents acteurs de renforcer leurs actions visant à relever le défi mondial de la sécurité alimentaire, de la faim et de la pauvreté. La liste de discussion D4Ag est destinée aux entrepreneurs (numériques ou agricoles); aux particuliers et institutions investissant dans l'agriculture digitale, aux gouvernements et aux organisations internationales de développement intégrant les solutions digitales dans leurs activités ; aux agriculteurs et entreprises agroalimentaires déployant des solutions digitales, sans oublier les organismes de recherche, d'élaboration des politiques et de prise de décision. Afin d'exploiter tout le potentiel de la digitalisation agricole, les discussions de groupe porteront sur la situation des usages des solutions digitales pour l'agriculture, les opportunités offertes par les données, le renforcement des capacités, la promotion de l’environnement politique et commerciale favorable pour le développement de la digitalisation agricole et des solutions, la gestion des connaissances dans ce domaine, etc. Les membres du groupe sont invités à promouvoir ou à organiser via ce groupe toutes activités appropriées, conférences, ateliers, webinaires permettant de traiter ces sujets. Les opportunités de réseautage, les nouvelles ressources, les innovations du domaine peuvent également être partagées.

This is a space for people to share ideas and discuss ways to support investment in sustainable livestock sectors in developing countries - mainly through evidence generation, communication, policy advocacy and engagement. Evidence ( https://whylivestockmatter.org ( https://whylivestockmatter.org/ ) ) indicates that l *ivestock are critical for sustainable development yet often overlooked.* The world’s cows, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry and other farm animals are the mainstay of livelihoods across the developing world. And the energy and nutrient-dense milk, meat and eggs these animals produce provide hundreds of millions of families in the world’s poorer countries with basic livelihoods, incomes, food and nutrition. This space is supported by the global sustainable livestock advocacy for development project (led by ILRI ( https://www.ilri.org/ ) ) as part of efforts to increase investment in sustainable livestock. Our aim is to catalyze a community of sustainable livestock sector champions, connecting efforts and supporting concerted efforts globally.

Welcome to PPgis.net, the *Open Forum on Participatory Geographic Information Systems and Technologies*. In building a community of practice (CoP) around the concepts of Public Participation GIS (PPGIS)/Participatory GIS (PGIS) this DGroup aims at stimulating exchange of information on progress made in bringing the power of geospatial information management systems at community level. A prime objective is to provide disadvantaged groups in society with added knowledge-based resources for interacting with higher-level institutions, negotiating territorial issues, participating in land/resource use planning, management and decision-making, and influencing policy-making. This CoP supports the vision of participatory geospatial information management and communication linking different knowledge systems and improving multi-party communication on spatially defined issues. Members of this DGroup are able to share information and lessons learned and post questions, resource documents and announcements which are relevant to the practice. On this forum members can share their ideas, post questions and answers, showcase their practices or discuss topics related to the practices of participatory mapping and communication. Our editorial policy is to publish these unless these are meant to create an intentional conflict based on gender, religion or nationality. We also don't publish direct personal attack or pointed criticism (to an individual or organisation) unless this is supported by substantive evidence and/or justification as to why the author brings forward this. We do not publish “thank you” messages unless these do not contribute to further elaboration of the topic at stake. The forum is open to registered members and moderated by development practitioners and researchers with worldwide experience in a number of relevant disciplines. Disclaimer: All the messages posted here are the views of the authors and not of PPgis.Net. PPgis.net in no way is responsible for the comments or views expressed by the members of this group.

Bienvenu à la section francophone du site internet PPgis.net, le forum électronique sur les technologies et les Systèmes d’information géographique participatifs (SIGP). En construisant une communauté d’intervenant qui œuvrent à l’entour du concept des SIGP, ce groupe de discussion s’est donné comme objectif de favoriser les échanges de connaissances à propos des progrès réalisés relativement aux activités des intervenants, d’activiste et de chercheurs francophones. L’objectif principal de ce groupe est de permettre aux communautés marginalisées d’un point de vue socioéconomique d’accéder aux connaissances nécessaires afin d’interagir auprès des institutions de haut niveau, de discuter des problématiques d’un territoire, développer des pratiques participatives liées à l’aménagement et la planification territoriale, de prendre part aux processus de prise de décisions et d’influencer l’élaboration des politiques. Ce groupe de discussion adhère à la vision qui considère que la gestion participative de l’information géographique favorise l’échange entre les systèmes de connaissance et qui, par le fait même, améliore la communication entre les acteurs impliquer dans la résolution de problématique spatiale/territoriale. Il est possible de s’inscrire à ce groupe de discussion modère par des praticiens et des chercheurs ouvrant dans le domaine du développement à travers le monde et possédant une expérience pertinente dans plusieurs disciplines.

Ao constituir uma comunidade de ação em torno aos conceitos de Participação Pública em GIS (PPGIS)/GIS participativo (PGIS) este DGroup visa estimular o intercâmbio de informações sobre os avanços obtidos em levar às comunidades de base meios de acesso e controle sobre sistemas de manejo de informações geoespaciais. Seu objetivo primordial é o de fornecer aos grupos sociais despossuídos recursos cognitivos adicionais para que eles interajam com instituições mais poderosas, negociando questões territoriais, participando do planejamento, gestão e tomada de decisão sobre o uso da terra e seus recursos e influenciando as políticas. O DGroup adota a perspectiva de uma gestão participativa da informação geoespacial que procura ligar diferentes sistemas de saber, desenvolvendo a comunicação plural sobre temas espaciais. Os membros do DGroup dispõem-se a compartilhar informações, lições apreendidas, questões colocadas, recursos documentais e anúncios relevantes para a prática. O Fórum é aberto à participação de membros registrados e é animado por pesquisadores e ativistas de todo o mundo com experiência em um certo número de disciplinas relevantes.

Bienvenidos a PPgis.net, la sección en español del Foro sobre Tecnologías y Sistemas de Información Geográfica Participativa. La creación de un espacio en español, a través de un DGroup formado por la comunidad de usuarios en Cartografía Participativa y Sistemas de Información Geográficos Participativos (SIG-P), pretende estimular el intercambio de información ya existente y hacer llegar el poder de los sistemas de gestión de información geoespacial a nivel local y comunitario. El principal objetivo es promover la apropiación por parte de los grupos más desfavorecidos de la sociedad de los conocimientos necesarios para relacionarse con las instancias gubernamentales superiores, negociar cuestiones relativas al territorio, participar en la planificación del uso de la tierra y los recursos, participar en los procesos de gestión y toma de decisiones e influir en las políticas. Este DGroup respalda la visión de la gestión participativa de la información geoespacial combinando diferentes sistemas de conocimientos y mejorando la comunicación entre todos los implicados en cuestiones relativas a la temática. Los miembros del DGroup pueden formular preguntas, compartir información, lecciones aprendidas, documentos y anuncios relevantes. El foro está abierto a los miembros registrados y esta moderado por especialistas en desarrollo y investigadores con experiencia al nivel mundial en varias disciplinas relevantes.

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones for management of crops, livestock, fisheries, forests and other natural resource-based activities represents a new technological frontier and opens up a range of exciting opportunities. UAVs offer also opportunities for grassroots’ involvement in monitoring use of and access to the resources their livelihoods depend on. Members of this community share their experiences in developing UAV technologies and related software applications and more importantly in making use of small UAVs to improve the management of crops, fishing grounds and other resource-based activities. Relevant events, capacity building opportunities and other resources are signalled as soon as these are known by members of the community. Being the use of UAVs for agricultural purposes a recent phenomenon, national aviation authorities are facing new challenges linked to the use of UAVs within their skies. Hence this Community focuses also on existing and forthcoming policies, laws and regulations governing the use of UAVs.

Notre histoire est celle de la rencontre de deux jeunes dames, chacune fortement liée au monde de l’Agritech. Nous sommes en 2016, dans leur quête de trouver une solution à la vague migratoire des jeunes “du barça ou barsakh", elles se tournent vers la quête de solutions innovantes pour le domaine Agro-sylvo-pastoral et Halieutique. Ralliant à leur cause des jeunes chefs d’entreprises, des experts en technologie, des agronomes, journalistes, des producteurs et transformatrices pour ériger une communauté économiquement indépendante et durable pour tacler les nombreux challenges auxquels font face les agripreneurs: Yeesal Agri Hub( Lien1 ( https://youtu.be/iIz39WebXHM ) , Lien2 ( https://youtu.be/GPsDD2LqgCE ) ) voyait le jour officiellement aux yeux des autorités en tant qu’association en 2017. Dans ce processus de création nous n’oublierons pas de citer la GIZ de la coopération allemande qui via le programme Innovation Factory a cru en cette communauté, en nous octroyant l’appui d’un des meilleurs cabinets de développement organisationnel: DenkModell. Notre première grande activité a été déroulée avec l’appui de la GIZ/Réussir au Sénégal  par la tenue de la première Semaine Nationale de l’Entrepreneuriat Agricole (SENAG - Lien3 ( https://youtu.be/lL_TxkxfDnw?t=249 ) , Lien4 ( https://youtu.be/p7GzvtISDeg ) ,), une première hors de Dakar  afin d’impulser la décentralisation de ce type d’activités lors de la Semaine Mondiale de l’Entrepreneuriat en Novembre. Une semaine d’activité avec un groupe cible de 100 personnes dont 25 % étaient des migrants pendant laquelle nous avons déroulé des activités de terrain, du renforcement de capital humain et de la sensibilisation. Des suites de de succès nous avons pu élargir notre portfolio de partenaires avec un travail d’appui technique dans l’agritech à la FAO ( Lien5 ( https://youtu.be/aUR_aE3RU6M ) ),  un travail de collaboration avec le monde de la recherche et les agripreneurs via OSIWA ( Lien6 ( https://youtu.be/jJRLaI4UQXM ) , Lien7 ( http://www.agritools.org/action ) , Lien8 ( https://pfongue.org/Agripreneur-en-Action.html ) ), des bootcamp puis du post-accompagnement avec nos partenaires institutionnels ( Lien9 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0G6OoSBwo4&t=224s ) , Lien10 ( https://sn.ambafrance.org/Forum-Jeunesse-de-Matam-2019 ) , Lien11 ( https://fb.watch/a0lzk1aD5W/ ) ) et de la facilitation pour le  pilotage de processus de formulation de programmes pluriannuelles ( Lien12 ( https://eoai-africa.org/knowledge-hub-giz-funded-project/ ) ). Des suites de cette création officielle, l'organisation a entamé sa marche de 15 ans devant la mener à son objectif ultime: celle de devenir la principale ruche d’émergence des futures licornes africaines dans l’agribusiness, l’agritech et l’économie verte. Ainsi pour atteindre cet objectif nous avons décidé d’avancer par jalons(quinquennat). Un premier quinquennat(2017-2021) pour mettre en situation le modèle et le valider, un second(2022-2026) pour la constitution de l’écosystème favorable à des modèles innovants de mobilisation financière et non financière pour les agripreneurs et enfin le dernier(2027-2031) pour le passage à l’échelle au niveau continental. Yeesal Agri Hub est le premier Hub d'Afrique de l'Ouest, Structure d’Accompagnement à l'Entrepreneuriat Innovant, spécialisé dans l’agribusiness, l’agritech et l’économie verte. Elle est née en 2016 de la volonté d’un groupe d’entrepreneurs, de producteurs, de chercheurs et d'étudiants de Thiès. C’est ainsi que nous avons décidé de  créer un espace d’échanges, de partages et de stimulation de la création de projets novateurs qui à partir de son siège social dans la ville du rail a progressé dans les zones rurales du pays en y menant des initiatives de développement humain et local. En mettant en avant la notion d’empathie,  nous pouvons apporter notre contribution pour un modèle d’insertion et d’auto-emploi dans l’agribusiness, l’économie verte et l’agritech. Un modèle attractif et ​rentable qui lie ​les savoirs endogènes des communautés rurales aux nouvelles pratiques d’intelligence collective et technologique. “Ce qui commence  ici, dans le jardin de la terre et du labeur, changera le monde”

A group for the Dgroups Foundation Board Your *donation* ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-board/viewdonation?id=131 ) helps the Foundation and its partners continue to provide this service and support for online dialogue

Online collaboration, dialogue and interaction – what works in international development. From mid July to mid September 2020, this Dgroups Foundation e-conference explored what works – and what doesn’t – when collaborating and acting together online. We aimed to co-create lessons and practices that will help us improve the ways we work online. * * Drawing on the experiences and lessons of Dgroups partners and collaborators, across sectors, platforms and regions, we used an ‘experience capitalization’ approach that draws out our individual and collective insights to produce actionable knowledge that will help us improve our own practices. We built on recent discussions ( https://www.dgroups.info/2020/07/effective-online-collaboration-dialogue-interaction-development/ ) about some critical online collaboration factors. We covered the following topics: * online platforms and technologies - which ones, and how to make them work for us * online group and community facilitation - what's needed, what works, and how we can do it better * online engagement and participation - how can we motivate people to contribute and interact * building trust in online groups - how we can provide safe spaces and build confidence and trust * inclusive online spaces - what we can do to foster equity, reflect diversity and overcome exclusion in our groups * effective online events -  what works, and how we can deliver better virtual meetings We concluded discussing 5 key areas ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-dialogue-online/wiki/22520 ) identified during the discussions: * Enhancing participation and engagement * Nurturing effective COPs * Using appropriate platforms * Learning through e-collaboration * Sustaining engagement through time Download a brief ( https://www.dgroups.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/DgroupsBrief-Jan21_v2.pdf ) synthesizing key points from the discussions See our wiki ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-dialogue-online/wiki ) with notes from the discussions See notes from our zoom reflection meeting ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-dialogue-online/topic/notes_from_online_workshop_on/77315053 ) on 24 September 2020 See the messages ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-dialogue-online/topics ) shared See our overall agenda ( https://dgroups.io/g/dg-dialogue-online/wiki/21922 ) We want to make this dialogue as open as possible, so the messages archive, wiki and other resources are visible to anyone. However, only members can contribute.
