Taking Free Software to the Farmers and Fields of India (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal covers
the aAqua.org (Almost All Questions Answered) web site. "Thanks to
work done by the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Bombay)
and its partners, IT-savvy and knowledge-hungry people across rural India
now can find relevant, demand-driven farming knowledge on the aAqua.org Web
site. So far, the site has been a great way to bring together people such
as Prasad Kaledhonkar, who has a clue about what the white patterns
emerging on tomato plant leaves are; farmer's daughter Niyatee Nilesh, who
wants advice on buying agricultural land; and Shirish, from rural
Maharashtra, who wants to learn about using waste water from the school
kitchen to irrigate gardens and crops."
