Abstract:
The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) through the Open Academy for Philippine Agriculture (OPAPA) Program has developed ICT-enabled information services that allow farmers and extension workers to have easy and direct access to a wide array of agricultural technologies.

These services, which include the Farmers’ Text Center, e-Learning, e-Forum, Pinoy Farmers’ Internet, Web Conferencing, Cyber Communities, and Mobile Internet Bus, are the products of a three-year pilot testing conducted by OPAPA in multi-locations through the establishment of ICT-enabled farm villages called cyber communities
