"Mobile telephony has had a positive impact on many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by contributing to rural development. However, there are certain limitations to address in order for this technology to be accessible to more individuals in rural communities, in particular those living in the most marginalized conditions and who would benefit most from the opportunities that this technology can provide"

Sponsored by IICA.

This Policy Brief is based on the input of e-Agriculture Community members who participated in the online forum (in Spanish) held from 20 to 30 April, 2009.

This is the 2nd Edition of this Policy Brief. It is available (PDF) in English, Spanish and French.
