Abstract
Communication problems among members of urban farmers' associations affiliated to the Urban Agriculture Platform in Lima (PAUL) increased with the lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the study was to know how this group of people relate to ICTs in terms of internet access, the use of electronic devices, the use of digital platforms and the way in which this set of technologies is understood as useful information tools in agriculture was investigated. To do this, two surveys were applied to a sample of urban farmers' associations located in North Lima, East Lima, South Lima and Ventanilla. The results obtained indicated that the study population has a fairly acceptable level of knowledge, management and access to ICTs. Almost all of the surveyed urban farmers affiliated to the PAUL have some form of internet access, have a medium to high level of internet use and have acceptable minimum knowledge regarding smartphones, electronic tablets and computers. Regarding knowledge and management of digital platforms, urban farmers showed medium to high levels of knowledge in internet browsers, email, video conferencing platforms, instant messaging services and social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Finally, the vast majority of the sample has sought solutions for their gardens on the Internet and consider it as a very important tool in the development of urban agriculture. In conclusion, it is feasible to use ICTs as tools for agricultural extension and training in urban farmers' associations in Metropolitan Lima.
