World Food Summit 1996

Reducing Hunger and Poverty in the World by 50% in 2015

"The Rome Declaration calls upon us to reduce by half the number of chronically undernourished people on the Earth by the year 2015 .... If each of us gives his or

her best I believe that we can meet and even exceed the target we have set for ourselves.""The Rome Declaration calls upon us to reduce by half the number of chronically undernourished people on the Earth by the year 2015 .... If each of us

gives his or her best I believe that we can meet and even exceed the target we have set for ourselves.“

"We have the possibility to do it. We have the knowledge. We have the resources. And with the Rome Declaration and the Plan of Action, we've

shown that we have the will."

Our Survey research in North Indian states shows that less than 10% of the

Krishi Vigyan Kendra and other extension initiatives actively “use web based

content” or “contribute web based content”. Yet there are more than a hundred

active ICT initiatives across the country.

Learning:

1. There is a gap between the content provided and content wanted

by experts in the field.

2. Need of knowledge based and self managed agro advisory

service

The content that is online and free, is often not updated regularly, is not

coordinated with other providers, so there is lot of duplication of general

information and not enough ‘specific’ local information, making “pertinent

content” harder to find.

Learning: Create user attractor tools, platforms and socio-

technical processes that encourage a self-

managed ,evolving and sustainable ecosystem of content

users and creators.
