Abstract
How can HortBase and other electronic information systems benefit horticulturists in developing countries? If Nation-wide distribution of the workload and costs of creation, review, revision, and distribution of individual information files to produce an electronic information system for decision support can be achieved in the U.S., can this collaboration occur world-wide? The European Agricultural Multimedia Network (http://www.stoas.nl/mmnet/), established in 1995, is an international network of more than 37 European institutes and organizations that are active in agricultural education. Its goals are to exchange knowledge and ideas and foster cooperation in development and exchange of agricultural education and extension multimedia products. EUROPEA, created in 1993, is a network of about 500 agricultural colleges and institutes in Europe to optimize transnational cooperation in development of distance education and lifelong learning and to provide an international dimension to students. The international membership of ASHS coupled with global communication technology facilitates global collaboration on information development and access.
