Future Directions in Agriculture and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) at USAID
There is scarcely a field of human activity today that has not been touched by the dramatic changes in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) taking place over the last 10- 15 years. Agriculture and its associated natural resources management are no exceptions. This report examines the impact that new ICTs have had in agriculture, outlines trends and emerging ICT opportunities in the field, and offers some guidance on how the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Agriculture and Food Security (AFS) division can build on its considerable experience to take advantage of ICTs effectively in development assistance.
