• Conceptualising agriculture
• Future Backwards
– Visioning
– Backcasting
• Implications and Recomendations

3. Visioning a future
• Think yourself into 2017, two years beyond the
WSIS & MDG reviews
• Imagine there is an effective national e-
agriculture strategy
• Develop a diagram visualising the impact on the
people engaged in agriculture, on the ground
– Individually first
– Then as a group
• Present the group synthesis

4. Looking back from 2017 to 2013
• Illustrate or annotate your visualisations to
demonstrate:
– How such an inclusive multi-stakeholder strategy was
developed, engaging youth, women and other
demographic sectors as well as Government, Civil Society
and the Private sector
– How the strategy deals with access to ICT issues
– Which ICT applications are being used, planned and
encouraged - and how
– How the strategy aligns nationally with other sectors
– How it started – what were the first steps
– How knowledge sharing and capacity building are
addressed and taking place
