Some of the harshest consequences of climate change will be experienced by smallholder farmers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the next few decades. Data-driven advisory services (DDAS) have considerable potential to strengthen smallholder farmers’ climate resilience and adaptation, increase agricultural productivity and incomes and contribute to climate change mitigation. DDAS integrate a variety of digital technologies to capture, process and interpret data including satellites, field sensors and drones for product and service creation and delivery to smallholder farmers and value chain stakeholders.
