WorldAgInfo Project Issues Final Report

In 2007, Cornell University (Ithaca, New York, USA) and partners put together a ‘WorldAginfo’ Design Team to test the premise that “new collaborative information technologies offer an exciting opportunity to transform agricultural education and information systems in Asia and Africa.” The Team, led by IAALD member Mary Ochs, was charged by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to explore the landscape of agricultural education and information systems in Asia and Africa, and to come up with “a set of recommendations for areas of investment that have the potential to improve the lives of smallholders through better access to agricultural education, training and information.”
