How can the e-agriculture community go about collectively advancing the concept of partnerships? I understand the e-agriculture community also includes mobile services (m-services). The access to mobile or cell phone by farmers and agrcultural trade community is higher compared to the access to internet & computer. The e-agricuture community concept can be sustainable if the e-services through Community Information Centers can be suplemented by the m-services. The e-services should also address the regional dialect of the user community. These basic realities gives rise to (1) Community ownership through partnership, (2) Partnership between Technology Services provider (e.g. Computer & Accessories, Mobile/Cell phone operators, Call Center Operators etc.) and (3) Government Field level Agricutural Offices, Agricutural Colleges and Universities. On the partnership issue I prefer three tier model. The top tier being the knowledge center, the 2nd tier is the content providers and the 3rd tier is the service providers. While the accdemia, research institution etc provide knowledge to the knowledge centers in particular and the other tiers in general. This allows the 3rd tier to incorporate all service providers in the e-community service arena. The whole success of the partnership will be dependent on the value of the knowledge created in the knowledge centers and their effective dissemination by the players in other layers. The e-agriculture community should advance their partnership on the basis of suggested the model.
