Abstract

As farmers' uses of ICTs increase, they can benefit from better access to food and agricultural market information, knowledge networks, more efficient communication channels with suppliers, food processing and marketing firms, and rural entrepreneurs. The availability of ICT creates opportunities for farmers in different agro-ecological zones facing different socio-economic circumstances to select ICTs that are specific to their ecological and economic situations. This journal publication reports on research findings that provide insights, case studies, analytical frameworks, policy development lessons on ICT research and ICT applications in agriculture and rural development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), Asia and Latin America.
