ICT in Agriculture: Perspectives of Technological Innovation

An e-book titled "ICT in Agriculture: Perspectives of Technological Innovation" has been compiled under the auspices of, and supported by the European Federation for Information Technologies in Agriculture, Food and the Environment (EFITA) and the Samuel Neaman Institute for Advanced Studies in Science and Technology. The papers in the book represent more than two decades of experience in ICT adoption in Agriculture. They will be background subject matter for discussion and evaluation during the ICT Adoption Sessions and Plenary in the EFITA/WCCA conference this July 2005 in Portugal along with the conference presentations: http://www.agriculturadigital.org/efitaandwcca2005/instrutions.html The objective of the book is to avoid the costly penalty of unfocused ICT Development. The cost is in money and misdirected scarce human capital. The book provides initial expectations, results and lessons in various areas of agriculture and rural ICT development and implementation.
