Abstract

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are considered a possible game changer in boosting agricultural productivity, profitability, sustainability, and resilience worldwide. Yet, more evidence is needed to understand the impact of current and potential digitally enabled solutions. Using a food systems approach, this paper reviews existing evidence and discusses the conditions, rural population segments, and timelines needed to achieve desired outcomes. It finds that serving the whole farmer ecosystem is an emergent yet unexplored pathway. The paper concludes by providing recommendations on the role of public institutions and policymakers in shaping ICTs for inclusive and sustainable food systems transformation.
