The Workshop on ICTs Transforming Agricultural Science, Research and Technology Generation organized by GFAR during the Science forum 2009 concluded that by investing in ICTs more participatory, collaborative, creative and “ímpactful” agricultural science and innovation is possible. ICTs can enable inclusion - not only scientists but all in the “chain”, from producers, processors, marketers and consumers - in agricultural innovation.
