英文文献摘要:
The need to provide agricultural information to farmers has led to emergence of numerous ICT-based MIS projects in developing country. These projects aim at promoting commercialization of smallholder agriculture and subsequently their welfare. This study examines the welfare effects of one such project in western Kenya. It uses household food security and access to medical health services as proxies of welfare. The study finds that farmers that use ICT-based market information are more food secure and have better access to medical health services than their counterpart. It highlights policy implications of these findings.
由于需要向农民提供农业信息,发展中国家出现了许多基于信通技术的信息系统项目。这些项目旨在促进小农农业的商业化,进而促进小农的福利。本研究调查了肯尼亚西部的一个此类项目的福利效应。它利用家庭粮食安全和获得医疗保健服务作为福利的代理。这项研究发现,使用基于ict的市场信息的农民比他们的对手更有粮食安全,更容易获得医疗卫生服务。报告强调了这些研究结果的政策意义。
