Businesses are undergoing a digital revolution. The exponential growth of technology such as mobile payment systems, machine learning, satellite imagery, and other innovations is transforming systems and processes and generating valuable information used to make better decisions.
Together with Grameen Foundation, Mars, and other partners, the Rainforest Alliance has recently launched the SAT4Farming program, an initiative to reach thousands of smallholder cocoa producers with information and services that will allow them to improve their productivity and sustainability. It is designed to use digital technology and satellite imagery to create individual farm development plans that guide Ghanaian cocoa farmers over a seven-year period.
To overcome the obstacles, all stakeholders, including sustainability standards, NGOs, companies, and governments, must join forces to scale up digitization in the field and enable farmers—and our environment—to benefit from it on a larger scale.
