Support for Technology Providers
Research in agronomy and agriculture produces new, improved technologies with the potential to increase yields, resist pests and diseases, withstand adverse climates, improve nutrition and income, and more. The TAAT e-catalogs are a powerful step on the road towards such impact:
Technology Providers are researchers or representatives of organizations that own technologies that we showcase on the e-catalogs. They own the data we publish on their technologies in the e-catalogs.
Technology Providers work with the TAAT technology Profiling team to create technology profiles that are customized to the needs of the audience of the e-catalogs:
-
- decision-makers in governments, who are responsible for the design and implementation of large-scale agricultural development projects,
- decision-makers in private sector companies, who are responsible for the integration of agricultural technologies in new or improved business plans,
- decision-makers in international finance institutions funding agricultural development, or in large international organizations such as iNGOs, responsible for designing and implementing large-scale agricultural development programs.
We provide here supporting and guiding material for Technology Providers:
- e-learning course: introduction to the e-catalogs.
- This e-learning course takes under 5 minutes to study and gives you an easy-to-follow overview of the e-catalogs and technology profiles, their objective and their audience.
- Save the file on your computer and double-click on it, it is then automated and interactive.
- Overview of the process for the creation of a new Technology Profile.
- Guide on the use of the online form.

Reduced Overgrazing and Rangeland Rehabilitation for small livestock The "Reduced Overgrazing and Rangeland Rehabilitation" is vital in addressing the pressing issues caused by overgrazing and rangeland degradation. This technology becomes crucial due to the growing population's increased demand for animal products, which results in excessive pressure on land. Consequently, overgrazing leads to soil erosion, nutrient depletion, water scarcity, and a loss of biodiversity, creating conflicts between pastoralists and farmers. Climate change exacerbates these challenges. Despite these issues, solutions exist to combat rangeland degradation. However, what's often lacking is the investment and empowerment of communities to act locally, mitigating the negative environmental impacts. Moreover, resolving conflicts and fostering political will are crucial for communities to take effective actions in managing pastures and rangelands sustainably.
Bringing farmers, vets, and institutions together to scale livestock vaccination! Innovation Platforms (IPs) are multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms that bring together breeders, private veterinarians, public veterinary services, vaccine producers, local leaders, and financial institutions to jointly plan, implement, and monitor livestock vaccination campaigns. They improve communication, trust, and coordination across the vaccine delivery chain, leading to higher vaccination coverage, better disease control, and more productive livestock systems.
Boost efficiency in animal sample extraction and improve target amplification Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Animal Health technology suite offers a range of advanced diagnostic tools designed for precise pathogen detection, with a focus on avian diseases like avian influenza. Key components include Real-Time PCR Diagnostic Kits, which provide highly sensitive detection for early disease identification; VetMAX Master Mixes for accurate PCR amplification; MagMAX Core Extraction Kits that streamline DNA/RNA extraction from diverse samples; and the QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System for high-throughput, rapid diagnostics. Supporting SDGs 3 (Good Health) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), this suite enhances disease management, minimizes losses, and promotes responsible production. Targeting veterinary labs, researchers, and farms, the technology can be distributed through resellers or direct partnerships with clinics and development agencies. With flexible pricing based on kit and sample volume, it offers high ROI potential from reduced animal losses and improved productivity. Thermo Fisher’s technology stands out for its speed, precision, and accessibility, making it ideal for regions in Africa to strengthen animal health and agricultural resilience.
