Digital Green is dedicated to improving the social, economic, and
environmental sustainability of small farmer livelihoods. They improve the
livelihoods of smallholder farmers across the developing world through the
targeted production and dissemination of agricultural information through
participatory videos and mediated instruction through grassroots-level
partnerships. This work begins by disseminating targeted agricultural
information to small and marginal farmers using a cost-realistic media
exchange that is supported by existing, people-based extension systems
and local facilitators.
HOW TO HELP
People can educate themselves and their friends through the Digital Green
Facebook game, Wonder Village. Iowans can further support the work of
the Digital Green Foundation by donating on the website, volunteering to
help subtitle videos, or pursuing internship opportunities with Digital Green.
