Abstract

The rapid development and global spread of modern information and communication technology (ICT) led to the implementation of its applications to agriculture. Information management is becoming an increasingly challenging task for farmers, but also for public bodies since for some years now, governments have entered an era of cogitation regarding the future of public service provision. Provision in agricultural governance can be implemented through ICT focusing on informing, directing, managing, and monitoring agricultural activities toward the achievement of sustainable agriculture. Dissemination of knowledge to extension agencies and then on to farmers via appropriate information models can be fed back to the international agricultural community on research or policy making level.
