Abstract

This review paper presents the concepts, theories and literature review that are relevant to information systems and communication networks for agriculture and rural people. The usefulness of information systems and communication networks is discussed in order to identify the system components, their networks, the understanding of how successfully they work and how to improve their performances. The definitions of terms used in this paper, such as information, system, information system, agricultural information systems and communication networks are first presented and discussed. The rationale of the system theory and information system approach and analysis method for agricultural information systems are described and discussed. In addition, the findings of related previous studies are reviewed and summarized. Finally, general conclusions about agricultural information systems are emphasized and implications for further research areas are presented.
