How climate data is helping smallholder farmers make better decisions, with Plan21's Fabián Román Impact-Up: Entrepreneurs on Tech for Good

In this episode of Impact-Up, Daryl Pereira interviews Fabián Román, a partner and beneficiary of the IBM Sustainability Accelerator. Over the last few years, Fabián has been working through Plan21 to connect smallholder farmers in Latin America to the technologies developed via the IBM Sustainability Accelerator to understand their environmental footprint and optimize resource usage. Through using the simple YvY mobile app and the data it provides, these farmers have learned how to improve their economic and sustainability strategies for more resilient agriculture. Hendrik Hamann from IBM Research also explains the latest in climate science, including the role of artificial intelligence (AI). Tune in to learn more about the collaboration between the IBM Sustainability Accelerator and Plan21.
