Description

Information and communication technology (ICT) has always mattered in agriculture. Ever since people have grown crops, raised
livestock, and caught fish, they have sought information from one another. Today, ICT represents a tremendous opportunity for
rural populations to improve productivity, to enhance food and nutrition security, to access markets, and to find employment
opportunities in a revitalized sector. ICT has unleashed incredible potential to improve agriculture, and it has found a foothold
even in poor smallholder farms.
ICT in Agriculture, Updated Edition is the revised version of the popular ICT in Agriculture e-Sourcebook, first launched in 2011 and
designed to support practitioners, decision makers, and development partners who work at the intersection of ICT and agriculture.
Our hope is that this updated Sourcebook will be a practical guide to understanding current trends, implementing appropriate
interventions, and evaluating the impact of ICT interventions in agricultural programs.
