4. Agroecological youth using ICTs to market organic products
Recommendations
•
To consolidate the network of agroecological youth
& ICTs, its important promote youth
entrepreneurship (job opportunities), and promoting
more youth leadership in regional and local
organizations.
•
Producers consider important and begin to
appropriate ICTs when the information they provide
is useful to them and helps them concretely, in
achieving trade agreements, increase sales of
organic products, better prices for their products.
This is essential for farmers’ sustained use f ICTs
and their willingness to contribute financially to
information and communication systems.
•
Information systems as SIANPE and ICTs should
not be seen only as a project, it is better to be
appropriated as a tool that crosses the entire
organization and helps strengthen all processes.
