The Dominican Republic has launched the Digital Agricultural Information System (SIDIAGRO), a significant step towards modernizing its agricultural sector. This initiative, a collaboration between the Ministries of Environment and Agriculture, aims to digitalize agro-climatic data within the National System of Protected Areas, promising enhanced efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
The SIDIAGRO platform, supported by the UNDP, GEF, and IDB, facilitates the exchange of crucial data on biological importance, environmental fragility, and agricultural potential. This will enable better decision-making and promote sustainable agricultural practices. The system's launch is expected to boost rural development and strengthen the country's food security. The Dominican Republic is taking a proactive approach, embracing technology to address climate change challenges and promote sustainable agricultural practices. This digital transformation is not just about efficiency; it's about building a more resilient and sustainable future for Dominican agriculture.
