I am particularly interested in Audio forms because I package agricultural information in popular song tunes for farmers. This worked very well with school children when we disseminated Climatic Change information to children. Children developed a PPT presentation to accompany the song.

I also came across a news item about the use of mobile phones for agricultural knowledge sharing. The news clipping is posted (Aug. 28th) on my blog http://sugunasrimaddala.blogspot.com
