Science Forum Workshop Theme 3 ICT-enabled Agricultural Science for Development Scenarios, Opportunities, Issues by <Balaji, ICRISAT> ICTs transforming agricultural science, research & technology generation Science Forum Workshop Theme 3

Scenario’s Rise of the Small-holder Farmer to the Center Stage of International Agriculture Known gaps in the Research-Extension-Farmer continuum, not fully addressed in Eco-Inno approaches ICT’s: Whole new approaches in “end user innovation” emerging

Opportunities Very large scale content aggregation in agriculture Collaboration and crowd-sourcing with Semantic Web Gather the Tips: Farmers and producers can contribute data directly Blend of sensornet and mobile networks Wider use of map-like interfaces Open Source WebGIS

Issues Disconnect between institutional agri expertise and ICT tools Divergence of ICTA and ICT4D: champions not able to ingrain agricultural and farming aspects Lack of adequate data volume to build “open services” blending non-PC with PC-centric approaches
