2. The Scaling
Challenge
Digital tools are a powerful means
for scaling climate change practices.
Yet tool content often does not
reflect smallholder farmers’
priorities.
How can digital tools be more
socially inclusive by enabling
farmers to co-create practices?
- Adapt practices to local contexts
- Exchange knowledge
- Solve problemscollaboratively
