Developing, Sharing and Delivering Smallholder RadioAgInfo Content

Abstract

Solution Scenario Concept: Programming partnerships will be developed with existing community radio systems. Agricultural personnel from nearby agricultural institutions (e.g. higher education, governmental agencies, extension models, etc.), both faculty and students, will be recruited to participate in the development of content in a variety of formats and lengths from 30 seconds to 1 hour radio programs focused on community agricultural needs. The program content will be archived in English or other base languages in addition to being presented in the dominant local languages. This RadioAgInfo bank will be available to share across countries and regions. Programs will use a variety of formats including storytelling and “call-in” radio to allow local smallholder farmers to interact with the information using a variety of technologies and survey techniques and request specific program content.
