Decision Support System – DSS

Simplifying decision making

Simple decision support tools designed by researchers at the international Potato Center (CIP) have been validated in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru (initial projects) with excellent results. The technology is currently undergoing validation experiments in Panama with IDIAP under a FONTAGRO Project.

Based on these results, CIP has turned the decision support tools into a smart-phone app, to make it more attractive for young farmers,

Please contact  CIP-AsiaBlightContact@cgiar.org for more information  about these tools or to validate them in your countries.
