I came across a really interesting article to read on the CCAFS blog. Bruce Campbell (CCAFS), Philip Thornton (CCAFS), Svend Christensen (University of Copenhagen), Ishmael Sunga (SACAU), and Dawit Solomon (CCAFS) share their thoughts on how agricultural advisory services at global scale can be instrumental in achieving the SDGs. The article lists five key issues around agricultural advisory which need to be addressed in order to reach half a billion farmers and achieve the SDGs by 2030.
The key issues include:
1. Private sector involvement
2. Market-orientated and demand-driven advisories
3. Digitized information
4. Data ownership
5. Bundling
