A project which is recognizing for the use of ICT in agriculture is SIBWA – Seeing is Believing in South Africa (Traore, 2010).  This project started in June 2009, with six communities of farmers, to implement the use of images made by sensors on satellites to build accurate and high resolution satellite imagery database of land and fertility (Traore, 2010). The accurate mapping program helps analyze and provide records to small-scale farmers to take advantage and monitor their farm land (Traore, 2010).
