Digital Agricultural Technologies (DATs) are innovations that enable farmers and agribusiness entrepreneurs to leapfrog to increase their productivity, efficiency, and competitiveness, facilitate access to markets, improve nutritional outcomes and enhance resilience to climate change. These technologies range from mobile apps to digital identities for farmers to solar applications for agriculture to portable agriculture devices. DATs are increasingly becoming indispensable in the global food and agriculture sector, from fast and convenient information delivery to providing virtual marketplaces. Considering the fact that digital technologies can accelerate agro-food outcomes is juxtaposed with low adoption rates of the same, the World Bank’s operations are increasingly incorporating digital agriculture as a critical element in its operations. Thus, it is important to study digital agriculture technologies in further detail. This five-week course will provide a high-level overview of DAT concepts, potential impact, range of technologies available, used cases as well as forward-looking technologies. The course will introduce the participants to different agriculture data platforms already available and will encourage them to discover the scope and utility of the open data platforms for analytics and intelligence in agriculture. Participants will be required to engage in discussion forums with their peers and complete quizzes throughout the course.

This learning path begins with an introduction to UN 2.0, followed by an exploration of the five cross-cutting competence areas—known as the Quintet of Change. You'll start by building a solid foundation with LinkedIn courses that showcase how these competencies are applied in today’s business world. Next, dive deeper into each area with advanced sub-learning paths. These include high-level LinkedIn courses from which you can understand how you can build that cross-cutting competence into your work area. This is accompanied by key UN materials, essential policies, strategies, and tools. Finally, the journey concludes with a curated collection of UNICEF’s most valuable learning resources.

COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdowns accelerated the adoption and transition of pedagogical paradigms from a largely offline mode
