Digital Agriculture In Trinidad and Tobago

In November, 2019, WHYFARM was contracted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), to conduct a pilot study assessing the status of digital agriculture within Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹.

The research project focused on five short crops: tomato, melongene, patchoi, lettuce and hot pepper. Farmers were interviewed and data collected observing what digital tools and farming methods are currently being utilised within Trinidad and Tobago.

The study looks at the challenges farmers are facing and evaluates the policies surrounding the adaptation of digital agriculture.

The study aims to create a framework for the steps towards implementing information and communication technology (ICT) solutions for agricultural development.

One of the outputs of the project, was a video that captures what farmers in Trinidad and Tobago knows about Digital Agriculture and how they utilise digital tools in their farmering operations.

Special thanks to the FAO TT Office for funding this project.
