<description><![CDATA[The Science Forum workshop on information and communication technologies (ICTs) aimed to map trends and opportunities for ‘ICTs’ to help transform and mobilize Agricultural Science for Development. A wide definition of ICTs was used to encompass various dimensions of information, communication, and knowledge-sharing as well as information technologies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Routemap to Information Nodes and Gateways (RING) is a CIARD project led by GFAR.
The Routemap consists of a registry of existing information services in ARD, indexed and described in a way that makes them more easily "exploitable" for building value-added integrated services.
The idea behind this is that it is difficult to build value-added services without knowing what has already been done, which sources are available and how to tap into them: the CIARD RING is going to provide this “missing link” between existing services that are not aware of each other and between existing services / sources and the foreseen value-added services that can be built on top of them. ]]></description>

<dc:title><![CDATA[Investing in Agricultural Development. Information, Knowledge and Communication the ‘Fertilizers’ of Future Research Harvests]]></dc:title>
<description><![CDATA[Like the famous NPK fertilizer formula1 for plant growth, agricultural organizations and institutions require regular doses of the three information, knowledge and communication elements. In the right combinations, and with suitable tools and devices to formulate, spread and apply them, these ‘intellectual fertilizers’ are critical inputs to rich and sustainable research ‘harvests.’
The experiments are taking place in all agricultural sectors and disciplines, in libraries and documentation centers, on the Internet, with farmer groups, as part of extension, by researchers themselves, in regional networks, with data and databases, using traditional knowledge, among CGIAR information technology and information management professionals, in publishing, using geographic information systems, across mobile phones, using participatory video, and as part of knowledge management initiatives. This list can easily be expanded.
A lot of this experimentation is poorly documented – even when successful. Some is captured in various web sites and portals1; much experience is shared when people meet at workshops and conferences or through professional networks and communities2. A few ‘classic’ stories are widely circulated and appear over and over. Different traditions and communities – information/documentation, ICTs in development, communication for rural development, extension, and knowledge managers - have their own landscapes for sharing.
Bringing all these together and helping to make sense of the different strands is an important role for global connectors like GFAR. 
In this paper, Peter Ballantyne gives us a comprehensive overview of the situation in 2007.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We, the participants of the V FORAGRO Meeting, in our capacity as such, consider that in order to achieve food security, face the challenges of agriculture and rural development in the current context, reduce rural poverty, increase food production and quality, improve the equity in the distribution of production profits, prevent negative impacts on the environment and preserve and make good use of the natural resources in the Americas, it is necessary to promote agriculture with knowledge and to adopt the perspective of innovation, which requires undertaking innovations in the technological policies and in our organisations.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Paper presented at the World Conference on Agricultural information and IT (IAALD-AFITA-WCCA 2008), in the preliminary workshop on "Adoption of ICT Enabled Information Systems for Agricultural Development and Rural Viability". Abstract: This document, based on information gathered by GFAR through its activities in improving the flow of information in agricultural research systems globally, brings to fore issues related to adoption of ICT for Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) from a global perspective. [...]	It is feared that by not increasing investment in the use of ICT for ARD, national capacities in agricultural research and innovation are being compromised. This, in turn, will affect agricultural development, farm productivity and food production. The issues, identified by GFAR, that need to be fulfilled for improved ICT adoption in ARD systems in economically developing countries are: 1.	National policies and strategies for ICT use in agricultural development on the whole and, and more specifically, for effective ICT adoption in ARD systems. 2.	Significant increases and improvement in investment, both financial and in human capacities, for ICT enabled information systems for ARD. 3. Generation of relevant and useful digital content for agricultural development. 4.	Building of appropriate capacities to use ICTs effectively for ARD and agricultural development. 5.	Integration and coherence in information systems at organization/Institute, National, Regional and Global levels and across agricultural themes, disciplines and commodity related information. 6.	Institutional response, especially by agricultural research and extension agencies, in governing the flow of information through ICT enabled information systems to benefit agricultural communities especially in developing countries.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Paper presented at the World Conference on Agricultural Information and IT (IAALD-AFITA-WCCA 2008). Abstract: As one of its main activities, the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) promotes, advocates and enables sharing of information and knowledge related, in general, to agricultural development and, in particular, to agricultural research for development. The concept of a Web Ring of partners giving access to each other’s information was initially planned by GFAR as a service to be implemented on EGFAR , the website of GFAR, but has now developed into a broader framework based on a distributed architecture. The Global ARD Web Ring is now defined as a “voluntary coalition of web spaces that share information related to agricultural research and innovation for development.” It is proposed to be developed as a network of cooperating partners that enable sharing and exchange of information in a coherent and integrated manner, agreeing on common standards and protocols and leveraging Web 2.0 technologies.  This paper describes in detail the framework of the Global ARD Web Ring as a project under the Coherence in Information in Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD) initiative.]]></description>
