poorest areas of developing countries where infrastructure is lacking and many farmers are illiterate, the technology must be simple and cheap. Most farmer organizations cannot afford to introduce new technologies, even when they can see the potential benefits, so they rely on public-sector support.Despite the digital poverty in rural areas, evidence suggests that farmers, both men and women, are well able to learn to use relevant technology if they are taught in the local language

Smallholder farmers are some of the poorest people in the world, and they cannot afford to join a group that does not offer tangible benefits. Creating better links between farmer organizations and their members is crucial if the organizations themselves are to flourish. Reliable flows of information between headquarters and the grassroots should boost trust and membership.

by reaching farmers who are not themselves online or using any new technology through farmer-to-farmer information sharing, at which farmer organizations have already proved adept. Some have used digital multimedia equipment to produce teaching materials showing better farming or production practices. Slide shows or video footage of actual farmers demonstrating new methods, particularly if the farmers are from the local area, appear to be much more effective in getting a message across than dry

not everyone owns a phone, so radio broadcasts have proved even more effective, especially when they are carefully considered. Popular and informative programs transmitted at appropriate times of day—such as early evening, when outdoor chores have been completed and women can listen, too—can bring about real improvements over a wide geographical area.

mobile phones, computers, telecenters for Internet access, or radio broadcasts—are not ends in themselves; they are simply the means by which information can be recorded, summarized, displayed, and passed on more quickly. It is the information itself that is important. Since information (on market intelligence and agricultural techniques, for instance) changes, the task of collecting it and choosing the most relevant sources is critical.

Cultural attitudes discriminate against women’s access to technology and technology education: What would a woman farmer want with a computer? Compared to men, rural women are less likely to own communication assets, such as a radio or mobile phone. Rural women are less likely to allocate their income to use in public communications facilities, except when they need to communicate with family or to arrange for income transfers. Rural women are often reluctant to visit cyber cafés or public Inter

Improved accounting and administration. Farmer organizations are often responsible for handling very large amounts of money that may represent the cash income of thousands of farm families. Efficient record keeping allows an organization to serve its members better, and the transparency offered by computerization and other technologies enhances trust. Cooperatives that have invested in modern management and member information systems can improve their image to attract high-quality staff and gain

Enhanced connections to members. Through the organization, farmers share market information and technical know-how, and they remain informed about the organization’s activities. For instance, topics discussed and decisions taken at board or executive committee meetings can be shared with members who, for reasons of distance or cost (direct and opportunity) cannot attend. Decision-making processes become more transparent, increasing trust between members, the board, and executive managers, and th

Smallholders can generate more income in a number of ways—such as by using better cultivation techniques and improved seed, reducing postharvest losses, and having better access to markets—yet as individual entrepreneurs, they may lack the knowledge or capital to change the way they operate. The collective strength of an organization can help its individual members become more efficient, if the organization’s services match its members’ needs

Let agriculture university and research Institue be in the forefront of alleviating the fear of digital dissonance. Frequent meetup, discussion and real knowledge transfer from field to lab and vice verse. The lecture hours should contain real interaction and visit in farmer field. Once they see, they will believe and then adapt. Progressive farmers and educated youth should work as bridge between farmers and University during non visit hours.Let other departments facilitate these process.
