Authors:

Edore Akpokodje and Chris Price
Abstract: Timely access to agricultural information by farmers is critical to agricultural productivity. ICT has the potential of improving agricultural information delivery and farmers’ productivity. Most developing countries however lack both the resources and the expertise to build and maintain many data centres distributed around the country. These countries have to look for other ways to access Information and Communications Technology infrastructure and services. This research investigates whether cloud computing combined with mobile computing provides an efficient, effective, sustainable way of bridging this digital divide between developed and developing countries, delivering appropriate expertise to remote areas.
