Agricultural Information Systems Development

A Stakeholder Analysis Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Science and Technology are essential ingredients for agricultural and rural development as exemplified in the green revolution in Asia but similar efforts have not been as successful in Africa. In Uganda agriculture is being modernised; but adoption of ICT remains limited. Policies and scientific recommendations can be contradictory, thereby exacerbating the challenge of natural resource sustainability. This book is a roadmap to the problem: it shows how information systems are helping solve land related problems, shows how useful stakeholder analysis can be a requirement elicitation tool in information systems development. The book is a one stop centre for useful resources about Agriculture in Uganda, and advocates for sustainable management of natural resource base; one of the targets of the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) a framework endorsed for restoration of agriculture growth, food security, and rural development in Africa. The information and the rigor of analysis is suited for professionals in natural resource sciences, physical sciences, governement and for anyone else interested in ICT4D.
