It is nice to know that there are lots of benefits ICT brought to improved the lives of our marginal farmers in some part here in the Philippines…It would be much better if it will enjoyed by majority of our farmers.  In areas where the local government units’ support to economic development  particularly in agriculture is very minimal; where agricultural infrastructures - farm to market roads, markets, irrigation facilities, post- harvest and credit facilities among others - are still not in place; where farmers’ associations are only organized but not sustained due to lack of government incentives/support and the bayanihan spirit and where the main source of knowledge on agriculture  is through the radio – farmers are lucky enough to have access to flyers,  agriculture magazines, demonstration farms or regular visits from their agricultural technologist – farmers remained marginalized. It would be beneficial if the agriculture sector will have a seat in the local councils to respond to issues relating to agricultural development. The only sector which has a clear guideline on sectoral representation in the local councils is the Indigenous People.  I also believe we still have much more to do in terms of sharing and showcasing best practices of farmers’ group in their collaboration with the government/NGOs/funding agencies, using ICT to really make a difference in the lives of our poor farmers and to address poverty which is one of the Millennium Development Goals.
