Digital Transformation

The Digital Villages Initiative aims to transform villages in Europe and Central Asia into hubs that are smarter, greener, and richly digitally connected and interconnected. The goal is to empower every village and rural community to utilize digital technologies to increase agricultural productivity and access to services, and uplift rural livelihoods by leveraging their local strengths.

Agro-Informatics connects information technology with the management, analysis and application of agricultural data to design more accurate and targeted agricultural interventions. The use of satellite imagery, remote sensing, and geographic information systems, enable the transformation of data into actionable information.

The participation of over 770 small farmers strengthens the rural economy and benefits more than 30,000 students each day, with expectations for continued growth.

SCOUT is a digital solution that automatically generates optimized global/regional-scale supply chain plans and strategic analyses for WFP's corporate inventory, supporting key decisions on what food to buy, where from, when, and how to store and deliver it to operations.
