Taxonomy

In this context, "type" refers to the type of digital agriculture initiative described. Solution - A product or service enabled by information and communication technologies (ICT) and developed in support of agricultural activities (Sylvester, 2016). Good practice - A successful experience involving the application of ICT in agriculture that has been tested and replicated in different contexts and can therefore be recommended as a model (FAO, 2013, 2024b, IRU 422978209104). Policy - The course of action and resources involving the use of ICT in agriculture and food sector adopted by a government, a person or another entity (FAO, 2024c, Entry 56009). Project - Planned set of interrelated tasks related to the use of ICT in agriculture and food sector to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations, often by development actors (FAO, 2024b, Entry 330903). Innovation infrastructure - A physical, virtual, or hybrid facility, resource, or organisation that enable, support, and accelerate digital innovation processes in agriculture and rural development by providing spaces for experimentation, collaboration, testing, validation, and knowledge exchange. This includes entities such as living labs, technoparks, demonstration farms, digital innovation hubs, and smart and digital villages, which function as components within broader agriculture innovation systems and facilitate the development, adaptation, and scaling of digital agricultural innovations (Author’s elaboration is based on “Science and Innovation Strategy ((FAO, 2022)). Resource - A source of information or tool related to the use of ICT in agriculture and food sector that can be helpful for an individual, organization or a country in research, development planning, and other relevant tasks, such as publications and methodologies (Author’s own elaboration).
