4 hectares represents the minimum plot size (excluding cattle production) from which geolocation must be provided using polygons with enough latitude and longitude points to outline the perimeter of the land (Sarmiento, 2025).
6 decimal places minimum represents the precision required in latitude and longitude coordinates to identify the exact geographical location of land plots under the EUDR regulation (Sarmiento, 2025).
85% more effective are agricultural extension programs that incorporate digital components for technology transfer in Latin America, being fundamental to materialize innovations and connect research with producers according to CAF evaluations (Velásquez, A., 2025).
100% of large-scale U.S. agricultural producers use satellite information, much of it generated by NASA, to feed their automated precision agriculture systems for irrigation, fertilization, and other activities (Velásquez, A., 2025).
50 million dollars annually at minimum are necessary to adequately finance the digital transformation of the agricultural sector in each Latin American country, according to estimates included in CAF's agricultural prosperity strategy (Velásquez, A., 2025).
45% could increase Latin American agricultural productive efficiency through the coordinated implementation of digital transformation strategies, including adapted mechanization and robotics, digital innovation, and artificial intelligence according to CAF projections (Velásquez, A., 2025).
500% has increased agricultural productivity in the last seven decades thanks to the incorporation of scientists and technologists from various areas, from genetics to irrigation, fertilization, mechanization, and recently robotics, digitalization, and biotechnology (Velásquez, A., 2025).
3 solar water technologies are gaining momentum in Trinidad and Tobago: solar desalination, solar disinfection and photocatalytic degradation, especially beneficial for rural agricultural areas (Govia & Roopnarine, 2024).
88% de los agricultores ven la mejora en los rendimientos de los cultivos como motivación para usar aplicaciones digitales, 85% el ahorro de costos y 84% la mejora en la calidad de los cultivos (Bayer AG, 2024).
65% of farmers already use digital tools in their farming operations (Bayer AG, 2024).
