E-Agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of innovative ways touse information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the rural domain, with a primary focus on agriculture. Peoplearound the Globe from few years from now will be carrying a handheld computer connected to the Web to get theinformation about the World at their fingertips. E-Agriculture is an emerging field focused on the enhancement ofagricultural and rural development through improved information and communication processes. E -government is animportant facilitator of good governance. E- Government is the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)to transform government by making it more accessible, effective and accountable. ICTs allow better interaction among thegovernment, its institutions and people. By using ICT, the role of government changes from direct involvement to a morelimited involvement, thereby empowering citizens (Yu and Fang, 2005). e-learning is, however, not an alternative toinvestment in education generally; the two should be seen as being complementary. Integrating e-learning programs intoexisting educational systems can promote, however, a transformation. Implementing a comprehensive e-learning programwould mean changes to the curriculum, infrastructure, teacher professional development, textbooks, and exams. A majorbenefit of integrating e-learning into governmental educational systems would be, however, a long-term commitment togrowing and maintaining the program, with fewer e-learning initiatives ending when donor funding stops.
