In the framework of the Forum, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) is preparing a side-event with the topic “ICTs Mobilizing Farmers”. It will highlight the importance and potential of ICTs in rural communities and agricultural development, presenting testimonials of farmers, ICTs specialists and researchers. The aim is to exemplify the positive contribution of technology in the development of small agricultural clusters; increasing productivity, bringing up-to-date market information and even allowing easier access to finances.
The event takes place on Tuesday 29 March from 2 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. in the Caja España in Valencia. To get more information, you may read the CTA press release, have a look at the programme of the side event (French version here).
