Achieving impact at scale through ICT-enabled extension services in Ghana : project story
2020
Canadian International Food Security Research Fund
Digital platforms such as mobile phones, participatory radio and video tutorials rapidly connect farmers to trusted information, resources, markets, and financial services. The AgroTech advisory platform extended the reach of agricultural information, increased the number of field agents, and improved the adoption of good farming practices. Field agent activities were supported by interactive radio programs developed by Farm Radio International. They were also equipped with computer tablets and ‘SmartEx’ software application, reaching 500,687 farmers (34.8% women). Higher yielding technologies and practical innovations increased participant incomes and productivity. Many more farmers were reached than through traditional agricultural extension services.
