In Colombia, the FT Hub has conducted desk research and consulted with key stakeholders to identify several key challenges related to land tenure for smallholder farmers and other marginalised groups in Colombia. FT Hub and key ecosystem actors recognise that there are potential opportunities for frontier technologies to contribute to addressing these challenges more rapidly or rigorously than with current approaches.
Currently, the potential challenge areas that have been identified relating to land tenure are wide-ranging. It is necessary to narrow down / prioritise these challenges and home in on specific problem statements, their root causes and potential use case(s) where we believe tech can make a difference. The challenges which are currently in scope are:
Cadastral surveying is complex, costly and time consuming, inhibiting up-to-date land mapping across the country.
Coordination, validation and interoperability of land data between agencies is fragmented, leading to silos and gaps in data.
We are seeking technical advice on land tenure rights for smallholder farmers in Colombia for the following scope of work.
