By Leveraging Information and Communication Technology for the Irrigation Agricultural Information Program, the program provided technical assistance that will improve information delivery to farmers to help improve their livelihoods. We will strengthen the use of existing information and communication technology (ICT) to deliver low-cost, timely and actionable extension information to smallholders tailored to their needs to enhance their ability to increase yields. Project locations were implemented in two districts to identify strategic locations, crops and value chains with high potential to increase production, increase profits, and increase income for small farmers.

Our target audience is farmers in the field who aim to make agriculture a dynamic activity, and also to Help decision making, Increase productivity and reduce the risk of agriculture Field activity transparency, Access to Market. These benefits indicate that the project is replicable because we provide a sustainable community chain, especially women and other farmers and stakeholders. Not only that, we also expand the knowledge of farmers to be able to interact with each other and act as a digital community on our platform.
Our project seems to have significant benefit for both farmers and stakeholders. In the farmers' side, they have been able to get reliable information regarding their problems on the field freely, where they can also get the information about crop calendar, market price, fertilizer information and many more through just one app on their phone. They can also give stakeholders more accurate data through the surveyor (extension worker) that shows what kind of crops do the farmers cultivate, cultivation method, farm size, all the way to the productivity prediction. This way, stakeholders can predict how much money the farmers' need for the initial capital, what kind of fertilizer do they need to cultivate, what kind of pesticide, until how much crop the farmers can produce in order to be marketed in certain markets. This benefits shown that this project is sustainable because we deliver sustainable community chain between farmers and stakeholders so a close loop application model like this can be applied in other locations.. Not only that, we also broaden farmers' knowledge to be able to interact with each other and act as digital community in our platform."
