"At a small agrarian cooperative in Chile, farmers with little access
to the internet have a new source of farming information: text
messaging.

The messages, a combination of national and international news and
farming information about topics like weather and pricing, are part of
a project called DatAgro, which aims to bring relevant farming information to rural populations that have little access to computers."
