  2. Scenario’s • Rise of the Small-holder Farmer to the Center Stage of International Agriculture • Known gaps in the Research-Extension-Farmer continuum, not fully addressed in Eco-Inno approaches • ICT’s: Whole new approaches in “end user innovation” emerging

  3. Opportunities • Very large scale content aggregation in agriculture • Collaboration and crowd-sourcing with Semantic Web • Gather the Tips: Farmers and producers can contribute data directly • Blend of sensornet and mobile networks • Wider use of map-like interfaces • Open Source WebGIS

  4. Issues • Disconnectbetween institutional agri expertise and ICT tools • Divergence of ICTA and ICT4D: champions not able to ingrain agricultural and farming aspects • Lack of adequate data volume to build “open services” blending non-PC with PC-centric approaches
