This project represents a fundamental shift from extractive data collection to technology systems that empower farmers. By progressively building from accessible mobile platforms toward sophisticated automated monitoring, we create a sustainable pathway for smallholder farmers to benefit from their data while meeting the growing demand for verified agricultural information.
Proposal to establish a public innovation and experimentation laboratory for Bogotá's municipal government to address complex urban challenges through evidence-based policy experimentation and creative problem-solving within the bureaucratic structure. The laboratory would operate through a six-phase cycle from problem diagnosis to pilot implementation and experimental evaluation, with a small professional team collaborating with national and international academia to generate rigorous evidence for policy decisions, enhance transparency, and position the mayor's office as a leader in public sector innovation.
This comprehensive spatial analysis of the 2016 Colombian peace plebiscite results, examines how voting patterns related to factors like conflict exposure, urban-rural divides, poverty, age demographics, and political alignments between Santos and Uribe supporters. The analysis challenges oversimplified narratives about the narrow "No" victory (by only 0.4% margin), arguing that common explanations focusing solely on victims supporting peace or rural-urban divides are misleading generalizations, while introducing original variables like "urban functionality" and age analysis to provide more nuanced insights into Colombia's political polarization.
