In an era of rapid agricultural transformation, understanding how and where improved crop varieties are adopted is key to enhancing food security and farmer resilience. In this session, Marcel Gatto (CIP) will present current methods and practices in monitoring varietal adoption, showcasing innovative digital tools that provide real-time insights into the spread and impact of improved varieties.

From machine learning applications to remote sensing techniques, these approaches help bridge knowledge gaps, optimize decision-making, and ensure that high-quality data supports inclusive and data-driven agri-food systems.
