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).
300% could increase the productivity of small Latin American farmers through adequate training and extension services that facilitate the transfer and adoption of adapted technologies, according to CAF projections for regional development (Velásquez, A., 2025).
