The Impact of embracing Information and communication Technology in the Agriculture Sector

Abstract

Developing countries in Africa have been battling with the challenge of providing quality healthcare by arresting the food insecurity predicament through advocating for adoption of better Agricultural practices that can boost the yields, though the main impediment is lack or limited access to information on many aspects of agricultural research and development to the important stakeholders. This paper examines the various ICT platforms and technologies used in the Agricultural sector, statistics of their usage index and eventually ascertain whether they have any impacts on Agriculture and are also handy in addressing the looming food insecurity in Africa.
