FSD Platform: Empowering Smallholders for a Better Future

The FSD Platform aims at materialising the goals of the spearhead by establishing a channel to disseminate the knowledge created through scientific research, and by introducing standards for the implementation of data-driven projects for smallholder farmers.

The platform has three applications:

• The first is centred around “transparency and traceability” of farmers' income and environmental impact.     
• The second aims at creating a set of criteria to evaluate data-driven business models and projects targeting smallholder farmers.     
• The third application is an online portal that collects and displays all the research work that has been done by Dutch higher education institutions and organizations in relation to FSD for smallholders.
