The e-Agriculture Community of Practice, in conjunction with partners, have this week an online discussion themed, “e-forum discussion on ICTs and Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition”.
This online debate explores the cross roads between ICTs and issues around opening data in Agriculture and Nutrition and its effective use, with a focus on establishing what benefits and possible losses, can accrue to farmers, if technology and open data are used conjunctively.
Topics:-
- The role ICTs play in the use of Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition for family farmers
- Do you have any case studies that demonstrates the benefits (or damages) of the use of ICTs and Open Data?
