ICT technology has been developed to improve human life and to help farmers to do better focusing on high yields. One of the main advantage ICT brings to the value chain is to reduce time and costs of transaction due to accessibility to communication means that can improve the information flow between and along the value-chain of agricultural products. The place where transaction costs are reduced is between the industry and the consumers, thoubh both of them can access to information more direct through different means of communications.

Hi. My name is Manuel Cervantes, I work for the National University in Nicaragua working in food security courses with FAO. Entering now to cero hunger program to national level as a reearcher and validator of the process through the end of the program. Up to now it's been so important to pay attention to differents methodologies and impact analysis to fight hunger. One of the main issues I've been dealing with is local information to learn a bit more about local conditions to improve poverty and hunger. I just know a little about CGIAR and it seems to be very helpfull screening its homepage. That's one reason I joint the forum and expect to contribute from my experience to do better with knoledge management and validating the experiences and the focus in the studies. Regards. Manuel Cervantes.
