    Hi Philippa
    
    This chapter on the #agchatoz community (which has analogs in other countries) might be of interest to you:

        Hi Philippa-
        
        I know that historically there was some early literature about farmers and their use of online services (like CompuServe), but as far as I recall it was fairly basic, mostly mentioned market-based items (so, prices of farmed goods), and may not have been overly academic. It may have been more along the lines of, “Hey! Computers! Modems! Look even farmers use it!” (This is also all US-based.)
        
        I stuck this into Google Scholar and got some results: compuserve farmers videotex
        
        The historical angle may not be what you are looking for, but could serve as background lit or maybe you can cite-crawl forward in time.
        
        HTH!

In other words, I'm looking to assess farmers' uptake of the internet/social media either for knowledge building or for connecting with others in their community either for support or information gathering.   Any information about digital tools that are being used eg apps, websites would also be of interest to me. Clearly this is only going to apply to farmers who have internet access - particularly when they are located rurally.
