| Summary: | African countries are adopting a range
of context-specific climate-smart technologies and practices
to meet their food security and climate change goals.
Improved livestock production is the most prevalent
practice, followed by improved water management,
conservation agriculture, agroforestry, and, notably,
digital agriculture. The application of digital technology
in the design and delivery of integrated weather and market
advisories using big data analytics is increasingly helping
countries identify conditions that may endanger food
security and inform farmers’ decisions to adequately respond
to and, when possible, capitalize on, the changing conditions. |
