Dear Eva,

I agree with your thinging. Purpose of ICT shoud be to connect different fields of interest not working individually.

Why not use some comprehensive solution possibly with option to use on smartphones?

With such a solution to run farm business all involved parties (i.e. farmers, agricultural experts, veterinary experts, government, taxing service) would get an info of their interest about farm. Such a solution would minimize administrative work for farmers and give them posibility to be able to access much needed info on the spot.

Today famers no matter where cope with load of work and lack of funds.

It is true, that this type of infrastructure would mean high investment costs, but by combining different field of experts, costs could be spreaded between them which would mean lower investment costs for farmers.

Learning process would aslo be needed. But by convincing farmers and others, that all participants would really benefint from this (best solution is by constructing a good pilot project), I believe that they would be very willing to participate.

Regards, Gasper
