Event Information
At this month's Special Twitter Chat we discussed the use of low-cost video to promote agricultural development, food security, and nutrition. The chat featured experts from Digital Green, Feed the Future KDAD Project, FHI 360, and OMPT all of whom are using video as a tool for agricultural extension and development. The experts shared their experiences and lessons learned with integrating low-cost video. Experts answered questions from the audience on ways low-cost video can benefit them.
