The survey conducted during the conference largely confirmed our initial assumption that cell phone coverage far outweighs internet access among farmers. However, women in Syria and Jordan rarely have their own phones.

 

In total 46 conference participants responded to the survey, this includes 5 facilitators that usually belong to research institutes or NGOs.  Only about a quarter of the participants have internet access and use email. On the other hand, 71% have access to mobile phones, of which over half are able to play video.
