It is expected that this will improve the level of education among farmers, and introduce them with the latest technology in the field of agriculture

To smartphones, the farmers will begin in October. Today, Pakistani authorities make a database with the names of small farmers participating in the program. Using smartphones farmers will obtain the necessary agriculture data: weather forecasts, information about the technology of application of pesticides and much more. Part of this information will be provided in the format of the alerts. Also, farmers can use mobile devices to issue interest-free loans under the new simplified program, which was introduced in Pakistan in late August.

The majority of Pakistani farmers are not educated, so they probably will take some time to study the device. It is also likely that technology will entice them so that the new users will forget about farming.

According to the BBC, similar experiments have been carried out in India and Kenya. So, the staff of the University of Aalborg have developed a special interface for smartphones, which could be understood by farmers, many of whom can't read. According to the developer Hendrik Knoche, farmers quickly learn and master new technologies.

Note, in recent years farmers from developing countries are trying to support with the help of latest technology. For example, meteorologists of the National center for atmospheric research USA printed on a 3D printer low-budget weather stations for farmers of developing countries and set them in Zambia.
