Are we there yet? Some reflections on the state of innovation platforms in agricultural research for development
The availability of free and open access to large amounts of crop and weather data—combined with data mining approaches—enabled researchers to spot the main limiting factors of crop productivity at a site-specific scale, combine it with seasonal climate predictions, and get the information to far...
