dc.description.abstractThis article presents the main findings from a study of 15 agricultural development projects that employed a diversity of information and communications technology (ICT) tools. Interactivity in the use of ICT tools and platforms between project teams and beneficiaries are helpful for improving the quality of agricultural extension services and for teaching farmers to better manage predicted agricultural risks. Overall, the study finds that interactive ICT tools can help smallholder farmers better manage risks in the agriculture sector. Lasting and meaningful change requires a thorough understanding of specific smallholder agricultural system dynamics.en
