Hi Everyone! I am a Mobile Agriculture Specialist with 5 years of work experience in intergrating mobile technology with agriculture knowledge and deploying at grassroot. I have worked on "Behtar Zindagi" and "mKisan" project during my work period. mKisan was funded by GSMA Foundation which is now a sustainble agriculture service in the country.
My current interest is researching on "Introducing Mobile Climate Smart Agriculture (mCSA) service to promote resilient in agriculture" by integrating climate smart agriculture knowledge and local social knowledge.

Dear All,
Greetings from India.
I am Mobile Agriculture Specialist with 5 years of work in designing, developing and deploying mAgriculture service in India. The scenario is constantly changing and the need of information is following the same pattern. Just 5 years before we were busy in deploying Agriculture Information Service by using mobile phones.
Now is the time to form an Association of exisiting Climate Agriculture knowledge providers at state level and start collating local social knowledge. These knowledge then can be intergated by using various ICT model primarily mobile as its easiest and pro-poor communication medium. The role of Climate Smart Agricultural Content Providers, local Social Knowledge and Mobile Network Operator (MNOs) or a Mobile Agriculture Value Added Service (VAS) Provider is very important for sustainability and scalability of the service.
