Abstract
Agriculture can be defined as the science or practice of farming, including the growing of crops and the rearing of animals.
Agriculture is one of the most important sectors in Zambia's economy and could benefit tremendously with the application of information communication technology. Due to tremendous advances during the last decade, information technology is today affecting all the spheres of human life. We can exploit these advances to design a cost-effective system to provide expert advice to farmers and the general public.
This project focuses on how information communication technology can be used to better improve agriculture in Zambia.
This will be done by implementing an online electronic Agro trading system, a livestock and vegetable farming information repository, a google maps implementation showing crop distribution in different farming areas of Zambia and an electronic records management system for local cooperatives and associations.
