Most participants of the Rural Forum have arrived yesterday and are eager to start into three days of plenaries, discussions and workshops. We talked to some of them and learned what they expect of the Forum in Palencia.
Dorothy Okello, for example, is the coordinator of the Women in Uganda Network (WOUGNET) and is excited to learn more about the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and its potential in the marketing of WOUGNET. “ICTs help our farmers to improve their productivity,” she says. “By sharing information through email or other means of communication, we try to become more sustainable as a whole.” Watch a short video interview with her below.
T.K. Omana has traveled to Palencia from Kalpetta in India. She hopes that the Forum will not only give her new insights into technologies and best practices, but also give her the opportunity to network with participants from all over the world. “Everybody comes from a different background and has a different experience,” she stressed. “It will be interesting to learn more about their different approaches.” See a short video interview of her in following.
