Digital Agriculture and AI Innovation Roadmap
31/12/2025
The Digital agriculture and AI innovation roadmap crystallizes a shared vision: an agrifood future where innovation is inclusive, trusted, and relentlessly focused on impact. Developed through a multistakeholder dialogue, the roadmap translates the high-level ambition of more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems (AFS) into a three-year action plan that moves the sector decisively beyond fragmented pilots towards an ecosystem that fosters collaboration, reuse, and contextual adaptation.

Innovations in financial mechanisms for the transformation of agrifood systems
07/09/2026
FAO Transforma is an initiative promoted by FAO in Latin America and the Caribbean to foster dialogue among multi-stakeholder actors to address global challenges, including the annual financing gap, estimated at more than USD 160 billion. As part of the 2025 edition of FAO Transforma, nine initiatives led by the Organization and a range of strategic partners across the region have been documented. These experiences highlight FAO’s role in supporting the design and implementation of catalytic financial solutions to advance the transformation of agrifood systems.

The use of artificial intelligence to promote the financial inclusion of rural and agricultural actors. Early insights and considerations
09/04/2026
This study was intended as an exploration of the potential that different applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technology can have to promote the financial inclusion of marginalized rural and agricultural actors in developing countries. These low-income, vulnerable actors have been traditionally underserved by the formal financial sector on account of a wide range of constraints: low access to collateral, poor financial education, the absence of credit history, a lack of basic documentation, and many others.

Leveraging digital innovation to promote agricultural insurance among small-scale farmers
09/03/2026
Despite its gradual rise in popularity, the field of insurance technology (Insurtech) in most low- and middle-income countries remains significantly underdeveloped, especially regarding its applications in agriculture. Relatively few solutions to enhance the efficiency, delivery, and affordability of agri-insurance among small-scale farmers have reached a significant scale as of yet, and even when they have, these have tended to be concentrated in contexts where digital financial innovation is already quite advanced, such as the East Africa region.
