Synopsis (short abstract) The WSIS+10 e-agriculture Action Line review report, and the realizations of the e-Agriculture Community of Practice over the past 10 years, are a joint effort of FAO and partner organizations in the agricultural sector. This report is a comprehensive resource on the topic of ICTs in agriculture and rural development, not only covering achievements but also bringing together a large number of practical examples that have proven their effectiveness. But above all, this report enables us to look back, reflect of what has been done, learn lessons, identify challenges and upcoming trends as well as plan the use of ICTs into our future work in a more effective, sustainable and innovative way.
