To facilitate deployment and navigate the broad spectrum of ICT solutions for agriculture, ITU and FAO established the e-Agriculture Solutions Forum as a collaboration and knowledge sharing platform for ecosystem stakeholders and to highlight the positive impact of ICT on the agricultural sector. The e-Agriculture Solutions Forum brings together stakeholders to showcase solutions, strengthen a Community-of-Practice, accelerate innovation, and to find ways to scale up implementation of proven solutions at national level.
The first iteration of the e-Agriculture Solutions Forum was convened by ITU and FAO in 2016 in Thailand, and brought together a variety of ecosystem stakeholders from the Asia-Pacific region and internationally. The forum was focused on delivering a train-the-trainer workshop about developing national e-agriculture strategies and its national implementation.
