The ICT in Agriculture e-Sourcebook, Updated Edition, is made possible by a number of key individuals, donors and partner organizations. The original ICT in Agriculture e-Sourcebook was published in 2011, and financed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland under the Finland / infoDev / Nokia program on Creating Sustainable Businesses in the Knowledge Economy, whose generous contributions and ideas served as a foundation for its production.
The updated edition was managed by a core team led by Eija Pehu (World Bank Group) and Tim Kelly (infoDev), which included Cory Belden (World Bank), Kevin Donovan (infoDev), Terhi Elisa Havimo (World Bank Group), and Aira Htenas (World Bank Group). In 2016, four of the original modules (namely, Module 4: Extending the benefits: Gender-equitable, ICT-enabled agricultural development, Module 6: ICTs, Digital Tools, and Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems (new title), Module 8: Farmer organizations work better with ICT, and Module 9: Strengthening agricultural market access and Value Chains with ICT) were updated, and a new module was written (Module 15: Using ICTs for Remote Sensing, Crowdsourcing, and Big Data to Unlock the Potential of Agricultural Data). The Korea–World Bank Partnership Facility generously supported this updated edition.
