Forum Towards National E-agriculture Strategies
Question 4
Deal all, A National Strategie for e-agriculture will be really welcome in our country. the main challenge now is to get the
government involve at least the ministry of agriculture and the ministry of ICT and communication. My NGO is also inspired , but we already started by national training on ICT4ag (the use of ICT and social media for agriculture) now we are preparing a conference on social media, Agriculture and Youth engagement and at the end of the conference if we got donors, we will advocate for national strategie for e-agriculture.
PS: Between 2012-2013, we conduct astudent on how mobile phone, community radio could contribute for agriculture extension to reach farmer living in remote rural areas with positive results in terms of informations sharing and demonstration. the report of those studies was presented during ICT4ag conference in Kigali in 2013, and is still available in french.
