Agricultural output has been declining in the Caribbean although several strategies are being implemented to enhance development. The dichotomy between modern external experts (MEE) and locally grounded experts (LGE) generates a fracture that limits agricultural development and hinders good governance. There is a need for a change in the language and interface for decision making in local rural villages amongst stakeholders. This paper discusses the use of modern web technology in support of collaborative exercises that bring agricultural practitioners and their traditional knowledge closer to more remote, modern external experts.
