This paper presents an overview of the possibilities and challenges of using geo-data and ICTs to improve agricultural production and access to finance for smallholder farmers.
Besides access to finance, smallholder farmers need more and better information for their farming decisions. This could improve agricultural production and market access, ultimately increasing their incomes and food security.
The innovations we see today have a huge potential to improve agriculture and access to finance. Geo-data and information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as geographic information systems, drones, and cloud computing are now being used to boost smallholder’s production and their income.
