I do conquer with daanboom on both the definition and how ICT can better be used to assist farmers.

In addition most smallholders in Tanzania lack secure tenure for their farms which is one most important asset to  them. This is due to expenses in obtaining CCRO- certificate of customary rights of occupancy , contributed to by professional human resource and technology used. Mobile technology can be used instead and since the mobiles applications are easy to use by even secondary school students , participatory mapping will reduce the cost and fasten the process. 

Mobile , drones and satellite imagery can be used in  collecting data and analysis of their of be used to provide virtual markets , farm monitoring and fertilization advice. Successful cases such as Mobile Application for secute tenure  and AIRINOV can be made available through social entrepreneurs working with farmers associations to ensure sustainability of service.

I founded Agrinfo social enterprise to solely focus on ICTs for agriculture that solves smallholders challenges.  We see data as a way of making linkages within players in agriculture value chain.
