Agricultural research: we need to pay more attention to small farmers (Ilbolive)

October 30, 2020


Ilbolive (Italy) published an article on agricultural research and highlighted the Ceres2030 project. Ceres2030 works around eight priority issues and puts in place sophisticated automated analysis tools, in other words, artificial intelligence, to identify the hundreds of thousands of published researches in the agronomic, environmental field, geopolitical and economic that provide data, working hypotheses, innovative solutions and so on to address one of the most pressing and urgent issues, that of world hunger. The Ceres2030 team members found that the overwhelming majority of the agricultural-research publications they assessed were unable to provide solutions, particularly to the challenges faced by smallholder farmers and their families.
