Digital Green and eXtension are partnering to create a Digital Green eXtension Fellow to create opportunities and partnerships for Extension professionals to work with Digital Green as part of the eXtension 2017 Food System Issue Corps.
Digital Green is a global development organization that empowers smallholder farmers to pull themselves out of poverty by harnessing the collective power of technology (e.g., locally-produced videos, interactive voice response and mobile phone applications) and grassroots-level partnerships. When farmers have the tools they need to connect with one another, they’re far more likely to apply/integrate what they’ve learned onto their farms and into their households – creating positive change in their own lives and those of their families and communities.
This webinar will be the first in a series to help explore the possibility of adapting some of their work for use with the Cooperative Extension System here in the U.S.
