This presentation was given by Sessie Burns (Alliance of Bioversity International & CIAT), at the GDDF 2022 Side Session: Farmer co-design of climate change solution, on May 5, 2022. The interactive session introduced the research of the new Agroecological TRANSITIONS Inclusive Digital Tools (ATDT) project. In this interactive session, we explored how well digital solutions are enabling farmer co-design of solutions for climate change mitigation and resilience. We looked at types of options available and state-of-the-art innovations and explore options for best practices, and consider farmer-to-farmer exchange, information hubs accessible to farmers, and farmer-advisor linkages and trade-offs of non-digital options. Panelists will assess what more can be done digitally and how to sustain efforts through effective business models for co-design resources.
