What case studies demonstrate the benefits and/or damages of the use of ICTs and Open Data?

Open data helps in improving agriculture production and food security eventually , but the agricultural stake holders like business man or entrepreneurs are the ones who are benefited much than the famers who remain in the fringes of the global technology hub. Scientific community are also benefited, open data enables them to carry out research at faster phase and foster the needs of farmers at right time. One more problem farmers are facing with open data and ICTs is that they are confused with huge data that is available on internet .All the open data have to be more streamlined and put in simpler format that a common man can use and get benefited. We can say that total justice is done to ICTs and open data only if it reaches the grassroots.
