e-Agriculture is an emerging field focusing on the enhancement of agricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. More specifically, e-Agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of innovative ways to use information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural domain, with a primary focus on agriculture.
The editors aim to provide a complete and reliable source of information on recent advancements in the field of ICT in agriculture and rural development analyzing the impact on farming communities and stakeholders. The handbook is intended to guide professionals, policy makers and non government officials who are involved in ICT projects, adoptions, evaluations and applications for agriculture. Moreover, it will provide students, scholars and researchers in the field of community development, agriculture and mass communication with useful background information and materials on curricular offerings.
The book will be published by IGI Global (www.igi-global.com) and released in 2014. Additional information can also be found at http://coa-cau.blogspot.in
