Synopsis (short abstract) This report presents the outcomes of a consultation process led by FAO’s Office of Innovation to co-design the ATIO Knowledge Base (KB), a participatory, open-access platform for agrifood system innovations. Through expert consultations, e-discussions, and user journey testing, stakeholders from diverse sectors shaped the KB’s design, content model, interface, and governance. Key recommendations emphasize user-centered search experiences, inclusive taxonomies, grassroots innovation integration, and ethical data stewardship. The consultation affirmed that the ATIO KB is not just a technical tool, but a collaborative ecosystem to foster equitable, context-sensitive innovation in agrifood systems.

    The ATIO Knowledge Base (KB) is a global, open-access digital platform developed under FAO’s Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) strategy to catalogue and analyze agrifood system innovations. Designed to support policymakers, researchers, producers, and private sector actors, the KB integrates formal and grassroots data through a federated and crowdsourced model. It features AI-assisted content harvesting, a semantic backbone for intelligent search, and holistic metadata to assess innovation readiness, sustainability, and cultural relevance, ultimately accelerating inclusive and evidence-based agrifood transformation.

    The Agrifood Systems Technologies and Innovations Outlook (ATIO) initiative, launching in 2025, aims to enhance understanding of technology and innovation uptake and factors shaping the technology frontier in agrifood systems. It will be the most comprehensive global source of information on innovative solutions for Agrifood Systems Transformation. ATIO will include a biennial publication providing insights into current trends and future prospects for Agrifood System Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI). It will track STI progress globally and in LMICs, identify emerging technologies, and address regulatory, ethical, gender, and environmental issues, ensuring inclusivity in decision-making and investments.

    Introducing the Agrifood Systems Technologies and Innovations Outlook

    Agrifood system transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals requires increased attention to developing, adapting and diffusing impactful science, technology and innovation (STI). Current levels and patterns of STI uptake are inadequate to facilitate needed agrifood system transformations, especially in today's low- and middle-income countries. Moreover, the descriptive and evaluative evidence on current and emergent STI is also insufficiently well understood to permit intentional management of STI to meet the multiple objectives of future agrifood systems: efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable. This report introduces the vision, rationale, scope and methods for new knowledge products FAO will launch as part of a new Agrifood System Technologies and Innovations Outlook (ATIO). ATIO's objective is to curate existing information on the current, measurable state of STI and upcoming changes, as well as their transformative potential, to inform evidence-based policy dialogue and decisions, including on investments.
