This online forum will take place between 19th of June and 14th of July 2017 on the e-Agriculture Platform.

The e-forum focuses around three main topics, on which participants are invited to comment:

The e-forum focuses around three main topics, on which participants are invited to comment:
- The role ICTs play in the use of Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition for family farmers (link)
- Do you have any case studies that demonstrates the benefits (or damages) of the use of ICTs and Open Data? (link)
- What investments are needed in your opinion to reap open data benefits and how can farmers be protected from the effects of open data? (link)
If you are interested in sharing your thoughts and experiences on these topics, you only have to register on www.e-agriculture.org. The discussions will be guided by pre-selected subject matter experts from different organizations and is facilitated by a team representing GODAN, CTA and FAO.
I am excited to be among the subject matter experts invited to participate in this interesting discussion and hope that the discussions will lead to useful outcomes.
See you there!
