Online forum: ICT for climate-smart agriculture and "green growth"
Climate-smart agriculture seeks to increase productivity while reducing contributions to climate change. Success is essential in order to provide enough food for the world’s population and to mitigate environmental damage. The World Bank, FAO and the e-Agriculture community invite you to explore how information and communication technologies (ICT) can support "green growth" and climate-smart agriculture. ICT holds real promise in two particular areas: as tools for land use planning and management; and, as risk management tools for climate change adaptation. This will be the focus of the two week online discussion.

The e-agriculture community is a global community of practice, where people from all over the world exchange information and communication technologies (ICT) for sustainable agriculture and rural development. The key topics that will be discussed during the online seminar are:
- Agricultural Value Chains
- Gender
- ICT in Agriculture Sourcebook
- Mobile Telephony
- Public/Private Partnerships
Director Bruce Campbell will be participating in the online community seminar as a subject matter expert.
You can share your experiences, ask questions to the subject matter experts, and explore new areas for ICT to have a positive impact on agriculture and climate change by joining the online forum.
