Global e-Agriculture and Rural Development: E-Value Creation, Implementation Challenges, and Future Directions
Abstract
E-agriculture is a newly emerging field that is receiving increasing attention from governments, agribusiness industry, and the agriculture community worldwide. Over the past decade, the world has witnessed major growth and expansion of e-agriculture projects that integrate information and communication technologies in agriculture value chains and rural development. The rise of e-agriculture has led to increased focus on the need to fully understand its impact on rural development, food security, and poverty alleviation by policy makers, researchers, and farmers. Global institutions such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Summit for Information Society (WSIS), and the World Bank have identified the development of e-agriculture as a key priority. This chapter sets the platform for a key publication designed to advance the global debate on e-agriculture development and policy. The chapter outlines key insights into the conceptualization of e-agriculture, innovative project initiatives, e-value creation, lessons learnt, and emerging challenges associated with e-agriculture implementation in various parts of the world. The main lesson is that e-agriculture is a growing field that is pivotal to the global agriculture development agenda in the 21st century.
