Digitization and digital tools provide an opportunity to make food systems more productive and efficient, climate-smart, and inclusive. The COVID-19 pandemic is a strong reminder of the potential of digital tools and digitalization to build resilient and sustainable food systems.

Recent studies show that global demand for digital tools has significantly increased during the pandemic, including in Egypt. Cognizant of this potential, the Government of Egypt (GOE) has made digitalization a priority for all sectors.

This webinar presented a global perspective on the potential that digitalization holds and presents the latest digitalization initiatives in the field of food and agriculture by the GOE. The webinar also featured successful examples and lessons from ongoing digitalization efforts by international partners and the private sector.
