- Raise awareness of Information Communication and Technology (ICTs) issues in agriculture (see Themes covered already in e-Agriculture)
- Collect news and stories from the e-Agriculture Community on various projects they are working on related to ICTs in Agriculture.
- Provide space for third party content by registered e-Agriculture members on the ICTs in Agriculture;
- Encourage members to share, contribute and exchange various topical issues within the e-Agriculture

- You may include pictures. As a minimum we encourage you to include one 200px wide image to be used as a thumbnail on the e-Agriculture home page. Other images should be 600px wide. We also accept infographics and videos submitted as part of the post. The author is responsible for getting necessary image copyright clearances for these media.
