(Web2.0)How could we Use ICT to enable Agricultural Innovation Systems for smallholders?

ICT can expand communication, cooperation, and ultimately innovation among the wide array of actors in agriculture. This forum builds on Module 6 of the "ICT in Agriculture Sourcebook", and is exploring how ICT can improve the concepts and operations discussed in the Agricultural Innovation Systems Sourcebook.

The discussion is currently exploring:

• What ICT innovations are being used for farmers to access and exchange the information they need, and for service providers to provide information to farmers? 
•  
• What factors make ICT-based advisory services for smallholders sustainable?
•  
• How does ICT facilitate knowledge generation, documentation, and sharing in support of farmers and of farmer innovations?
•  
• What evidence exists of smallholders using and/or benefitting from ICT-based advisory services?
