Over the last years, FAO has been developing and implementing digital inclusion initiatives, scaling up innovative digital technologies for development and targeted interventions worldwide. The FAO Digital Services Portfolio (DSP) and the FAO Hand-in-Hand (HIH) Geospatial Platform (GP) are at the forefront of this effort, revolutionizing how we address global challenges in agriculture and food security through new digital capabilities.
