Agro-innovation country and regional profile dashboard

Agro-innovation country and regional profile dashboard is a user-friendly tool for self-configuration of agro-innovation profiles. The dashboard features key information on agrifood innovation by showing selected indicators from global and commonly used sources, grouped into the following 8 themes: Contextual Indicators; Agriculture productivity and innovation; Natural Resources and Environment, Human capital, Infrastructure, Digital penetration, Policy and Governance, Business Environment.

In the Themes page you can find the description of each theme and some graphs showing specific correlations among selected indicators, for example between the agriculture share of GDP and Employment, ICT skills and mobile ownership and Research and Development variables. The bar above each graph allows you to select the years and see the evolution of the variables/indicators.

The Dashboard includes data on selected indicators (more than 70) for these two groups of countries;

  • The Latin American and Caribbean region (33 countries)

  • The countries of the TAP-AIS project (9 countries, namely: Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Colombia, Eritrea, Lao PDR, Malawi, Pakistan, Rwanda and Senegal)

More countries will be added in the coming months.

An overall analysis of the status of Agricultural Innovation in LAC is presented in the section LAC innovation status

In the page Country profiles, by clicking on a specific country (from LAC region and TAP-AIS), you can access to relevant information about that specific country in terms of its general context (main macroeconomic variables), its agricultural productivity and innovation, natural resources and environment indicators, human capital, infrastructure, digital penetration, policy and governance and business environment.

The dashboard also hosts a Correlation finder page that allows to create custom bubble charts. You can analyze different patterns and correlations between indicators, such as comparing ICT skills and agricultural value added across countries. You can choose data from 2015 to 2021 to track how things have changed over time.

This builder tool allows you to select one country (for example, Argentina) or several, as well as one year or all the years available (from 2015 to 2021).

A very innovative tool, the Chatbot, allows you to directly ask questions to the online dashboard to display certain data, conduct specific analysis, build customized graphs and tables. The Chatbot runs through an OpenAI ChatGPT license that allows this direct dialogue and interaction with the dashboard.

The Regional trending page includes analysis of selected indicators and comparisons with the regional average. For example, the following indicators have been analyzed and compared to the average value in the region :

  • Percentage of the value added of Agriculture, fishery and forestry over GDP

  • Ease of starting a business score

  • Employment in agriculture

  • Gender gap in mobile ownership

  • ICT skills

  • Individual using internet

  • Mobile cellular subscription

  • Percentage of graduates from tertiary education graduating from agriculture

  • R&D Agriculture Government investments

  • Research and development expenditure

  • Researchers in R&D

  • Rural Population

If you are interested to know about how countries are performing in key agricultural innovation and digitalization indicators with relation to gender, a global cluster analysis of gender and digital connectivity is presented in the Gender Analysis page

Moreover the Global Innovation Index (GII) can serve as a significant indicator to assess and visualize the impact of innovation performance on the components of the Agricultural Innovation System (AIS). In the page AIS analysis you find an explanation of how this linkage can be conceptualized and utilized.

Agro-innovation country and regional profile dashboard is targeting policy makers and practitioners who are interested to know what is the status of agricultural innovation in a certain country, what are the main gaps and therefore where investments should go.
The dashboard combines quantitative and qualitative data, self-assessment and good country practices on agricultural innovation.
