Season's Greetings from e-Agriculture

2018 has been a remarkable year for the e-Agriculture. We continued to foster the global community of practice through dialogue, information exchange and sharing of ideas related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for sustainable agriculture and rural development. We thank all our members, partners and those that collaborated with us to realise the activities in 2018.

We began the year on a high note and boosted by the migration of the e-Agriculture website to a new corporate theme website in May of 2018. We would like to thank our users for the patience during this period and also on perseverance as some experienced an influx of messages.

We had more than 247 news items and events on the platform, and this included webinars that saw 1072 people registering for. The most popular webinar was the e-Agriculture Webinar on Drones for Agriculture: potentials and challenges on the African Continent.

Meanwhile, a number of emerging news focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Precision Agriculture, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain which are topical issues within ICTs in Agriculture. The e-Agriculture monthly newsletters reported on a number of themes, did you miss any of our issues, why not click below.

Lastly, we want to thank all FAO departments and partner organizations around the world that have worked with us to make e-Agriculture more accessible and visible.
