IICA radio interview
26-Sep-10
A few weeks ago I was spending some time in Costa Rica with my family. While I was there, I had the opportunity to meet with a long time friend, Susana Fevrier. She is currently producing AgroEnlace, a radio program for IICA, an international organization working on Agricultural and Land issues in Central America.
We had a great interview about how technology projects can really have an impact on agriculture and agricultural communities. I think the name of the program is Las TIC, una herramienta para el desarrollo en la agricultura. I tried to stress the point that Sula Batsu has maintained for a long time: infrastructure investment can only take you so far. Finding the strengths of what the community, what they already use and what has been working, can provide better value in the local context.
I haven’t heard it because I can’t find the plugin that is needed, or my Mac doesn’t like it. Anyway, here it is, in Spanish.
