摘要
The rapid expansion of internet accessibility through mobile phone networks together with simple mobile applications and expert knowledge systems provide new opportunities to connect farmers, extension and development workers, and policymakers with site-specific knowledge and information. The amount of electronically available knowledge and information about land potential, including resilience, is also rapidly increasing through the efforts of a number of organizations throughout the world. The proposed Land-Potential Knowledge System will leverage these emerging trends to connect land managers committed to sustainable land management with the most relevant and up-to-date knowledge and information available.
