Climate-smart agriculture and green growth – can ICT help?

Submitted by Teresa Buerkle on March 5, 2012

©FAO/Hoang Dinh NamThe World Bank, FAO and the e-Agriculture community invite you to explore how information and communication technologies (ICT) can support “green growth” and climate-smart agriculture.

This is the second in a series of discussions following the publication of the World Bank’s “ICT in Agriculture” Sourcebook, responding to the growing demand for knowledge on how to use ICTs to improve agricultural productivity and raise smallholder incomes.

The current forum, which runs from 5-16 March, will look at how ICTs are being used to make farming practices more environmentally sustainable.

Do you have experiences to share on how ICTs are helping improve soil management and land use planning? Or examples of how mobile phones are being used to get climate-smart agriculture information or data to farmers?

Join the discussion.
