World Food Summit 1996
Reducing Hunger and Poverty in the World by 50% in 2015
"The Rome Declaration calls upon us to reduce by half the number of chronically undernourished people on the Earth by the year 2015 .... If each of us gives his or
her best I believe that we can meet and even exceed the target we have set for ourselves.""The Rome Declaration calls upon us to reduce by half the number of chronically undernourished people on the Earth by the year 2015 .... If each of us
gives his or her best I believe that we can meet and even exceed the target we have set for ourselves.“
"We have the possibility to do it. We have the knowledge. We have the resources. And with the Rome Declaration and the Plan of Action, we've
shown that we have the will."

information and assessments and fostering of knowledge management for food and agriculture.”

7As it started: Digital Mandi
• Mandi in Hindi means “a place where trading” happens
• We wanted an electronic mandi• Created a platform for buying
and selling agri goods and futures trading
• Quickly realized it won’t work• Moved to a “knowledge mandi”

Our Survey research in North Indian states shows that less than 10% of the
Krishi Vigyan Kendra and other extension initiatives actively “use web based
content” or “contribute web based content”. Yet there are more than a hundred
active ICT initiatives across the country.
Learning:
1. There is a gap between the content provided and content wanted
by experts in the field.
2. Need of knowledge based and self managed agro advisory
service

The content that is online and free, is often not updated regularly, is not
coordinated with other providers, so there is lot of duplication of general
information and not enough ‘specific’ local information, making “pertinent
content” harder to find.
Learning: Create user attractor tools, platforms and socio-
technical processes that encourage a self-
managed ,evolving and sustainable ecosystem of content
users and creators.
