The Evolution of Our ICT Awareness
• PCs, Cell Phones, Emails: Just a work-enabler for Triparrd Staff
• Then a “weak signal” of the future was noticed.
• There were group discussions on Alvin Toffler’s theories: Third Wave, Power Shift
• Understanding on the relevance of ICT to Rural Development and productivity was vague and characterized by scattered unsystematic ideas….
• Retrospectively, Steven Covey’s 5 Ages of Civilization’s Voice captures the synthesis of those ideas.

Signals of the Unfolding Future:
1. Social Networking
2. Web 2.0
3. Crowd sourcing
4. Tools: wiki, blog,
The Rise of Myspace, Facebook, You Tube, Wikipedia, etc.
FORECAST: The value of network will be greater than the value of IP/technology.
Why did Google bought You Tube for $1.2 B

SCIENCE CITY OF MUÑOZ -- Confronted with a pest attack on his rice field, Marcelino Dizon, a 60-year-old farmer from Barangay Rang-ayan here, went straight to the barangay hall to search for answers.With the flick of a callused finger, Dizon turned on a computer and started surfing the Net. In no time at all, he had the information he needed.
In Magsaysay, Davao del Sur, Bienvenido Mariano, 62, faced a similar problem. He got the answer from the Internet—stem borers were attacking his plants—and learned what he should do to solve the problem.Dizon and Mariano are among the hundreds of farmers in 12 cyber communities around the country who have become adept at using the Internet as a tool for improving rice-farming techniques.
Dizon’s village, which is 9 kilometers from the city proper, has no landline telephone connection. But through the wonders of information and communications technology (ICT), Barangay Rang-ayan is now connected to the Internet and its residents are able to make phone calls using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.
Mariano’s village is 21 km from the provincial capital of Digos where the Internet backbone has been installed and beamed to their cyber community by wireless technology.

Phildhrra tapped a software developer to provide a customized “farmer friendly” accounting software.
This was introduced and adopted by Dizon Farm Workers Cooperative This has been used by their consumer store and canteen processing around 300 transactions daily.
Until now the software, is being used by the Coop
Another license (micro-finance version) was purchased by TriFED, a Federation of ARB cooperative that spinned off from TriPARRD
Problems encountered:
The developer refused to cater further to other coops except those with internet connectivity due to the cost of maintenance and support
Aspiration:
With wireless internet penetrating rural areas, a similar application sitting on the Software as a Service Platform is considered before by PhilDHRRA to be developed in partnership with a solution provider.

Attempts for IT Solution: Farm Planning and Budgeting
Assisting farmers to carry out Farm Planning and Budgeting is a routine of the field personnel of the project and is done on a manually.
Attempts to automate the this tedious process were done only thru the excell spread sheet – only the budgeting side.
Farm plans and budget is important not only in identifying the resources needed to develop the farm, but also increasing the confidence of the farmers that the farm can be transformed towards greater productivity.
Cost-benefit simulation via Excel is very effective for the farmer to arrive at a realistic plan based on the given resources.
Aspiration:
A a multi-tier (social networking enabled) Farm Planning Software using powerful database management and object oriented programming language with an SaaS platform will be available to communities.
Except for few cases the burden of assisting the farmers to come up a farm plan and budget is done by NGOs.
But we realize farm plans are not only about numbers.
It is also about understanding the geo-physical conditions of the farm (soil type, ph, climate, terrain) that requires expert evaluation

Lack of Relevant Software
Applications
Production Support thru Micro-finance was inadequate to finance the production potential of the areas.
Bigger scale formal lending institution is inaccessible and setting up a branch in the communities is uneconomical.
The challenge then, is can an ICT enabled mechanism expedite for formal lending institutions to reach out to rural communities despite the distance?
Aspiration:
Study and when feasible implement the Brazil’s Banking Correspondence System.
A banking correspondent is a retail institution authorized and enabled by an IT solution to accept savings deposits within a community and dispense withdrawals in behalf of a financial institution.
The portfolio size of Micro finance project have not reach a scale for it to operate viably. E.g. High personnel turn over due to low salary scale of skilled personnel. .

Building Digital Farm to Market Road
On-line Social Networking Approach to Linking Production to
Market
By: Alexander Casiple, SUCCEED, INC
The Social Network Stakeholders
• The Farmers in the Community• Students in the Community• The Local Government Units (MAO,PAO)
– Agri-Technicians• NGO • Production Financiers• The Municipal Production Assemblers: Supply
Routers• The City Consolidators: Demand Routers• The City End-Consumers

The Synergy of the Social Networking
• Farmers have a profound link to the end-consumer market.• Rural students have concrete contribution to the agricultural
development in the farming household and community level.• NGO perform functions in bridging the Digital Divide and “On-line
Siadization”• Agri-technicians (MAO) has an IT platform to perform its agricultural
support services.• LGU has a platform for production information system/ database
management as a tool for planning and policy development.• Consumers have profound link to producers and are empowered to
“co-produce” their consumption needs.

Software generates Production Bgy, Municipal, Provincial Production Status Consolidated Report as an input to Policy Development and Decision-Making
Software generates Production Financing Requirement Report where Credit Providers can view and evaluate and decide to provide credit financing.
•Consumer input weekly budget
•Profile of persons in the households
•Sets of Weekly Menu Plan suited to the profile and budget
•Selects a set of menu plan
•Ingredients requirement checklist is generated
•Deselect ingredients still available in the Kitchen
•Click to Submit in the Shopping Cart
Agri-Ingredients is inputted to the Demand Monitoring Chart
How will the Farm To Market Digital Linking work?
PROFILING STAGE
1. Farmer register a Farm Planning Account
2. Student input general farm information
3. Technician input technical
information about
4. Farm Profile is Generated
Register name, farm location, resource inventory, etc
Farm location, resource inventory, present land use, etc
slopes, soil types, climate, technical description
System identifies crops suitable to the geo-physical conditions of the farming land scape. Generates 3D representation of the Farm
FARM PLANNING STAGE
5.Farmer/student divide vacant landscape into land units
6. Farmer/student select crops for a certain land unit
7. System calculates production potential.
8. Farm Plan and Budget is automatically generated in word or excell format
Farmer/student input size of a land unit (e.g. plot) then system automatically determine how many land units can be made in the vacant landscape
Farmer then select a crop from the list earlier generated by the technicial inputs of the agri-technician
When farmers select a crop, a decision support info ( instant cost-benefit calculation) is generated. Farmer then decides the scale of his production target.
A farm plan (no of hills, workbreakdown structure, timeline of activities, manning requirement, cost and income projection is generated.
CONSOLIDATION STAGE
Farm plans details serve as input to consolidation module
System provides window to interested credit providers
System provides interface for implementation tracking.
System provides reporting window to LGUs and other instituional stakeholders
System generates list of projects with farm plans and budget.
System generates list of projects that requires credit assistance where credit providers can view and evalauate the credit worthiness of the project.
Agri-technicians monitors implemenatation: Plan vs. Actual
System consolidates data from the various farm plans according geographic seggregation, crop selection or period of planting and harvest
INTEGRATION STAGE
Production supply detrmined by Farm Planning Software is matched with consumer demand determined by Menu Planning Software
System Identifies shortest route of production location to consumption location
Supply router pick up online routing advise for picking up commodities.
Demand router pick up routing advise for the delivery of commodities.
