| Sumario: | Our global environmental, nutritional, and AI landscapes are changing. As a non-partisan international organization, we have a unique position to partner with regional and global organizations to drive climate resilience, address health challenges, and integrate solutions for improved livelihoods. Partners and country governments are already adapting by investing in climate resilient and nutritionally sustainable breeding pipelines, digital public infrastructure, and data driven support tools (for themselves and farmers). The private sector requires real-world data and expertise to validate models, fine tune se rvice offerings, and integrated solutions for bundling to ensure sustainable business models. A fragmented agricultural food system with complex needs and increasingly more private sector players requires connected and data-informed digital solutions to drive transformation across the food system's value chain. IRRI and CGIAR must establish strong partnerships in the ASEAN region to support South-South collaboration, and integrated data-driven, accessible solutions.
IRRI’s 2025 – 2030 digital and data strategy follows an integrated framework to address all components of accelerating IRRI’s digital and data capabilities, outputs, and partner integration. Ultimately, IRRI seeks to create integrated expertise, toolkits, and processes to ensure IRRI’s knowledge products (e.g., data, expertise) are best leveraged for the greatest impact and have maximum contributions to CGIAR. This will be resourced through a combination of internal investment and targeted proposals. IRRI’s digital and data strategy focuses on internal and external facing activities to ensure maximum impact. These activities will ultimately seek to create impact by improving advisory support services (e.g., Analytics, Geo-Spatial, Climate Credit Modeling, Data Science, Bioinformatics), targeted research for higher yields and farmer resiliency, incubate more cohesive research, and drive data and model validation with partners.
