At the start of 2018, the World Bank awarded Producers Direct as part of their Development Data Innovation Projects.

Collaborating with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT); Climate Edge; and WeFarm, this project aims to help smallholder farmers respond to climate risks by integrating multiple sources of data and then presenting them with a personalized, accessible perspective on how to adapt and respond to specific challenges. The project intends to enable smallholders to engage with data in meaningful ways and transition from being passive recipients of data to active designers of the very data systems intended to benefit them.
