Data, Information, and Governance of Digital Climate-Informed Advisory Services por Born, Lorna, Bucher, Ana, Hansen, James, Prager, Steven D., Rose, Alison, Zebiak, Stephen E.

“…The following are key aspects of the general enabling environment that should be addressed in endeavours to invest in and improve DCAS and its contribution to small scale producers’ climate resilience: • Construction and maintenance of national data systems that ascribe to data governance standards, allowing for the creation of coherence among the multiple providers of information and advice • Monitoring, evaluation, learning and co-production of improved services, with accountable partnership between public and private sector actors • Building of farmer capacity for access, use and driving co-production of DCAS, while recognizing that complementary non-digital communication channels could avoid disadvantaging farmers that face barriers to accessing digital delivery channels • Garnering sufficient public commitment and sustainable public goods investment, establishing viable business models, and gathering supporting evidence to sustain impact at scale • Provision and effective use of high-quality data and derived information, partly through addressing any gaps in the data collection and management systems of the public meteorological, agricultural and environmental information on which quality DCAS depend • Extending DCAS investment to support other agricultural value chain actors whose capacity to manage climate risk significantly impacts small scale producers…”

A robust DayCent model calibration to assess the potential impact of integrated soil fertility management on maize yields, soil carbon stocks and greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya por Laub, M., Necpalova, M., Broek, M. van de, Corbeels, Marc, Ndungu, S.M., Muchere-Muna, M.W., Mugendi, D., Yegon, R., Waswa, W., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Six, J.

“…However, field trials are insufficient to estimate the potential impact of such technologies at the regional or national scale. Upscaling via biogeochemical models, such as DayCent, from the field-scale to a larger region can be a suitable and powerful way to assess the potential of such agricultural management practices at scale, but they need to be calibrated to new environments and their reliability needs to be assured. …”
