This document provides various links and resources for e-Agriculture. It begins by sharing a video about how a farmer used Google to solve a potato disease issue. It then lists several websites and NGOs that spread knowledge about agriculture and commerce, including Tropenbos, Songhai Centre, Agromisa, and E-agriculture. Further sections provide additional links to organizations like the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, libraries of digital documents from development organizations, and magazines about agricultural development. The document encourages sharing small-scale farmer knowledge through cell phones and contributing to improve the design and content of the shared resources.

Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa
AGRA works to achieve a food secure and prosperous Africa through the promotion of rapid, sustainable agricultural growth based on
smallholder farmers. Smallholders--the majority women--produce most of Africa's food, and do so with minimal resources and little
government support. AGRA aims to ensure that smallholders have what they need to succeed: good seeds and healthy soils; access to
markets, information, financing, storage and transport; and policies that provide them with comprehensive support.
