Abstract/Description

The Digital Agricultural Plot in Guatemala's Dry Corridor is an innovative initiative addressing climate change challenges through data-driven agriculture. Developed at CUNORI in collaboration with CGIAR, the plot integrates advanced technologies, including sensors, drones, and weather stations, to support decision-making in agriculture. It serves as a space for learning, experimentation, and technology validation, engaging farmers, students, and local stakeholders. The initiative focuses on tackling drought, malnutrition, and technical capacity gaps while promoting sustainable practices to enhance food security and climate resilience. With its scalable model, the Digital Agricultural Plot sets a precedent for addressing similar challenges across the region
