How can smallholder farmers, cooperatives and downstream supply chain actors benefit from the surge of artificial intelligence applications?
The EUDR Chatbot offers an answer. The digital tool leverages AI and is based on a modular Chatbot framework that can be adapted to the needs of any project. The EUDR Chatbot enables public and private actors across the supply chain to learn about the European Regulation on Deforestation-Free Supply Chains (EUDR) and how it interacts with national legislation. The Chatbot allows users to ask questions in multiple languages and analyze the deforestation risk and EUDR compliance of self-uploaded polygons, integrating FAO’s Whisp API.
Its simple interface turns a complex issue into something practical and accessible, and its adaptable design allows each country to integrate its own expert-validated legislation—contributing to a digital, sustainable, and deforestation-free agriculture.
The EUDR Chatbot was developed through a regional collaboration involving the GIZ projects REDD+ Landscape III – Forest Landscapes and Sustainable Trade, Zero Deforestation and Traceability DaBio Trade, and the Digital Transformation Initiative DTC Ecuador. The technical implementation of the chatbot prototype was carried out by GIZ’s Data Service Center (DSC), using the ChatBot Framework, a modular platform for building knowledge-management chatbots. The full development of the prototype was completed in just six weeks.
