Joining ICT and Agriculture

Developing Countries are witnessing a widespread use of technology in the Agriculture sector. Technological applications are now being used to share information and best practices within the farming community.

Kelly-Ann Phillips, a business development consultant, explains that “[t]raditionally, agriculture is not a sector that was associated with technology per se. As technology consultants, we see that the development of every sector is dependent on ICT. We have seen ways that farmers and persons in agriculture can benefit from technology. So thats why we’re expanding it to the agricultural sector as well, to let people know how you can leverage technology even in the field of agriculture to make your business more productive.”
