Objectives The AI4AI initiative focuses on using public–private partnerships (PPPs) to accelerate the deployment of digital and AI-enabled technologies in the agriculture sector to deliver an impact on: Levers AI4AI’s PPP framework is based on the principle that governments play a critical role in developing an environment that promotes access, affordability and adoption of digital agricultural innovations, while the private sector complements government efforts by investing in and deploying the latest technology innovations for inclusive, sustainable and efficient supply chains. Inclusivity Sustainability Efficiency Using technology to ensure agricultural services are inclusive and cater to the needs of smallholder farmers, women and other marginalized groups. Using technology to reduce the environmental footprint of the agriculture sector by minimizing the need for harmful chemicals and fertilizers, reducing water stress and building resilience against future shocks. Using technology to ensure that losses and wastages at all stages from farm to fork are minimized. The three levers are deployed via public–private partnerships and accelerated via a global agritech community that facilitates peer-to-peer learning and collaboration to build robust digital agriculture ecosystems. Value chain transformation Transforming agriculture value chains by plugging gaps and inefficiencies in crop production and supply chains using digital technology.Agri-digital public infrastructure Developing digital public infrastructure such as Agricultural Data Exchange (ADeX), an agricultural data management policy and agritech sandboxes that can support the private sector in developing and piloting customized and innovative services for farmers.Gender-inclusive digital technologies Building inclusive technology solutions that address the unique challenges of women farmers (such as low literacy, perception as high-risk borrowers, restricted participation in market-facing roles, among others), to ensure the just participation of women in global food security.
