Digital payments key tool to achieve food security

August 10, 2018

A Better Than Cash Alliance report on the role of digital payments in sustainable agriculture, endorsed by ministers of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation countries, argues that shifting to digital payments can help countries improve agricultural productivity and ensure food security, raise incomes and boost financial inclusion. The authors say the process can aid progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goal of ending hunger, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture.
