What does the data revolution mean for seed?

In a new guest blogging series, Kate Fehlenberg of CIMMYT-Kenya reflects on successes and challenges in seed ICT and analytics. To introduce the series, Kate points to a mobile advisory app for maize developed by her colleagues (Jens Andersson, Jordan Chamberlin, Peter Craufurd) at CIMMYT’s Taking Maize Agronomy to Scale in Africa (TAMASA) project. 

See more information about TAMASA’s apps here.

Later in the month, Kate will explore this issue through a series of focused blog posts on SeedSystem.org.
