Youth are a key component in the agricultural world and
their relationship with ICT is therefore logicalthere are
many initiatives for young people that youth themselves
are unaware. Ardys through, we could create a bridge
and could relay information on this wide audience
The writing and blog contest shows that lot of youth
involving in agriculture are interrested to use ICT as a
tool to promote agriculture
The french moderator ( inoussa Traoré) start a new project
and i think, ARDYS contribute for this succes
