The project, led by Dr. Udo Rudiger, introduces information and communications technology services to family farmers. ICT2SCALE Innovations include e-learning training modules on crop and small ruminant production, beekeeping and conservation agriculture. The project also helped develop bilingual Arabic-French smartphone apps that provide useful data such as price information on agricultural commodities in near real-time, helping farmers set prices and improve profits.\u00a0 Almost 1000 farmers received technical advisory SMS on a weekly basis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4930 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/08\/Header-Image-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-158faecc elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"158faecc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/annual-report.icarda.org\/2021\/digitalization-in-detail\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">DIGITALIZATION IN DETAILS<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7ecc8307 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7ecc8307\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-58ea8b5e\" data-id=\"58ea8b5e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e3d4e10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7e3d4e10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FEATURE VIDEO<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12061046 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"12061046\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">dryland window<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-105ba152 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"105ba152\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/enJimD42m64&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
