AFITA 2006

Proceedings of The Fifth International Conference of the Asian Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture organised by Indian Society of Agricultural Information Technology, Dharwad. The conference was held at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore from November 9 - 11, 2006. Agriculture continues to be the major occupation of Asian communities. In recent years, the IT sector is growing exponentially and offers an immense potential for its synergistic effect on the growth of all sectors including agriculture. Rapidly expanding population and dwindling natural resource base in Asia and steady trade liberalization, necessitate harmonious integration of IT and agriculture. The challenge ahead is to explore the opportunities provided by the IT revolution to ensure a vibrant, responsive, sustainable and productive agriculture. AFITA 2006 provides a platform to dwell on all the issues of vital importance for achieving rural prosperity in all the Asian countries
