Ever since people have grown crops, raised livestock, and caught fish, they have sought information from one another. Agriculture is facing new and severe challenges in its own right. With rising food prices that have pushed over forty million people into poverty since 2010, more effective interventions are essential in agriculture. Understanding and addressing global agriculture developments—both advantageous and not—are critical to improving smallholder livelihoods, in which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can play a major role. Each module in this Sourcebook discusses the key challenges, enablers, and lessons related to using ICT in a specific subsector of agriculture. These are derived from a range of experiences, and summarize the knowledge gained during pilot projects and wider initiatives. While different in type of intervention and approach, a string of themes emerges from the modules. These themes—namely, the why and how of using ICT in agricultural development—demonstrate the great potential of ICT and help to clarify the way forward. To facilitate learning, the Sourcebook is split into this introductory module plus fourteen modules focusing on specific aspects of the agricultural sector in relation to ICT.
