What if agricultural data wasn’t just for researchers — but also for farmers, governments, startups, and everyday decision-makers?
In this episode of Let’s Talk Agriculture, we’re joined by Karl Morteo, Senior Information Technology Officer at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), to explore the FAO Agro-Informatics Platform — a powerful digital tool transforming how countries access and use agricultural data.
We break down what agro-informatics really means, how the platform supports smarter decision-making on the ground, and why it matters for the future of resilient, inclusive food systems. We also touch on FAO’s creative global campaign, “Travel Around the World with the Agro-Informatics Platform”, showing how data is making real impact — from policy rooms to classrooms.
Whether you’re in agtech, rural development, or food systems policy — this is a must-listen.
