3 pages., 22nd Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks and Workshops (ICIN), via online database., Livestock transhumance in Senegal is done in several areas and more specifically in Sylvo-pastoral areas located in the Ferlo's region where it is difficult or impossible to communicate with terrestrial communication systems. The main reason is due to the existence of white spots. The lack of communication between breeders does not allow the dissemination of vital information such as water points location, bush fires geographic location, epidemic area, and available pastureland. However, in undeserved areas, satellite communications are very expensive for rural population. Therefore, we propose a low-cost communication based on LoRa transmission that enables different services like short message text, voice messages, status of a water points, geographic location. The deployed architecture is a delay tolerant ad-hoc network that can cover a large area with a mesh system.

17 pages., via depository, IFLA Library., Access to information plays crucial role in getting best agricultural products with some other factors such as soil, weather, biochemical products and their application. Several types of information are required by farmers of Sri Lanka for agricultural activities. This study focuses on the relationship of information literacy and the enhanced access to agricultural productivity. Therefore, this research aims to determine the information literacy level of paddy farmers of Ampara district in Sri Lanka in accessing agricultural information and explores how much this support the enhanced agricultural productivity. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select sample paddy farmers of Ampara district. 57 farmers were selected as the sample from all nineteen D.S. divisions of Ampara as three from each division. Survey method was used to collect data for this study. Questionnaire and Interview were used as research instruments. District Officer of Agriculture was interviewed and farmers were administered with questionnaires. Result was analyzed mainly quantitatively by using SPSS and Mini Tab. Qualitative analysis is also carried out. This study resulted that majority respondents preferred verbal communication, print sources and the use of computer and internet is reported poor. Communication gap, poor communication services, lack of libraries, lack of information literacy skills, poor infra structure and inadequate extension services might have caused poor access to information. Department of Agriculture under Central government and Agrarian Services Board under provincial ministry serve to these farmers as much as possible to provide information. However the information received by farmers indicated that it is not to the expected level. Therefore, it is concluded that government and local authorities should develop the existing services, information and communication systems to facilitate the farmers to access relevant information on time in order to gain best agricultural productivity. Though the perception of farmers indicates that they are information literate, facts and information related to format, mode and sources they preferred shows that these farmers are not much skilled on information literacy. This study recommends educating the farmers on access to information. Information Literacy should be taught to the farmers from the grass root level.

Notes:
8 pages., IAALD XIIIth World Congress., via IAALD website., Governments have been largely responsible for research and the provision of extension services in Nigeria. The emphasis has been on the transfer of technology, paying little attention to farmer development and communication needs. Recently, the high output of agricultural research has led to a large pool of new agricultural technologies, which are yet to be disseminated to farmers, particularly those in the core rural areas. Therefore this study examined development and information need of the resource poor and the strategy adopted to meet these needs, using „town crier‟ as a case study. The study identified 2 states in south west, Nigeria, based on literature/past studies, where this concept has been adopted. A focused group discussion technique and interview schedule was adopted for data collection. The study identified 141 „town criers‟ across the study areas through the help of key informants. Results shown all Town Criers are male, average age of 55.54 years and all have postsecondary education. Town Crier primarily source of information is from the traditional-head. Main information disseminated by the Town Crier bothers on security of the town and community development and projects. The study concluded that this channel rarely meets the information need of the people, as the study revealed that only 20% of such information meets these needs. Past studies have documented that information/communication channels in Nigeria such as extension institution has collapse, there is no effective communication channels in the country again. The small number of extension officers that exists, only congregate at the urban towns, leaving behind those at the rural areas. Thus, the use of town criers in this regards can be used effectively to fill this gap and can also be trained on basic extension work.

6 pages., IAALD XIIIth World Congress, via IAALD website., This paper presents our experience in building a rural and agriculture development communication
network in Egypt to improve the communication among extension, research, private and public
sectors and institutions involved in rural and agricultural development for the benefit of farmers
and agrarian businesses at rural and village level. The paper describes the main components of the
network: the web based information system, the rural communication network, and the mass
media. The lesson learned and future plans are also introduced.

New York, NY : Rockefeller Foundation, 1981. 25 p., Begins with an overview of the technology development process which includes 3 principal action agents: a) the research service, b) the extension service, and c) the farmers. Points out the significant influence the service institutions and government policies have on the process. Delineates some of the weaknesses seen in the effectiveness of the various types of agents and points out the key variables in the technology development process. Raises the issues that need resolution for better linkages between agricultural research systems and the farmer. Outlines some objectives to be pursued in accelerating agricultural development. Points out the information needed on agro-climatic conditions, social and cultural characteristics, institutional and infrastructural development programs. Presents strategies for technology development through discussion of the interrelated components of generation, assessment and diffusion. Discusses the role organizations play in the process and the need to identify alternative means of implementation. Concludes with a section on the implications for assistance from donor agencies.
