The Diversity Assessment Tool for Agrobiodiversity and Resilience to feed and restore our planet
The Diversity Assessment Tool for Agrobiodiversity and Resilience (DATAR) is a new open-source pilot software platform with a web interface, the DATAR Web Portal, and an Android App that will allow the integration of diverse crop varieties, livestock breeds, and aquatic farmed-types into decision-making plans.
Food systems, agricultural development, and climate resilience planning usually stop at the SPECIES level, deciding which crop, livestock or aquatic animal would be best suited to improve local livelihoods.
DATAR goes one step further. DATAR harnesses the tremendous amount of INTRA-SPECIFIC DIVERSITY maintained locally and worldwide as diverse sets of crop VARIETIES, livestock BREEDS and aquatic FARMED-TYPES into programs to feed and restore our planet.

The development of the DATAR WEB Portal and the DATAR APP was made possible through the generous support of the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) - International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): Cross-cutting capacity building, knowledge services and coordination project for the Food Security Integrated Approach Pilot Program - GEF project 9140.
