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 benefittremendously 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 improveagriculture in Zambia.This will be done by implementing an online electronic Agro trading system, a livestock andvegetable farming information repository, a google maps implementation showing cropdistribution in different farming areas of Zambia and an electronic records management system forlocal cooperatives and associations.
