 This year's winner in the category e-agriculture comes from the Republic of Latvia Today with us we have Indulins Abolinsh the deputy director of the rural support service Please mr. Abolinsh, could you please tell us a bit more about your project and what this prize means to you? So our project electronic application system. It's about Helping farmers receiving EU subsidies as you know, EU is very well known for its bureaucracy and a lot of paperwork for some of farmers So it was already 10 years ago when we decided that we shall reduce this paperwork And we started to implement a new system for the farmers called electronic application system so it 10 years have passed and Now we have all Latvian farmers using this electronic application system to receive EU subsidies as well as applying for several other services available to them Ten years have passed and what is the future in the next ten years for this system application? So maybe it's not about ten years about coming in one or two years we want to establish an mobile application for the farmers because Now almost everybody has a mobile device where you purchase certain things or do your Bank accounting and all kind of things So we want to enable farmer to go to his field with his mobile phone and do the necessary things in his mobile phone This is prizes is about collecting the success stories about ICTs advancing sustainable development goals How do you perceive your project advancing the sustainable development goals? So first of all we have to be aware that not all farmers live next to our office So many of them live in quite distant places and I have to emphasize that Latvia has a fairly good mobile Internet coverage so that means that every single farmer who lives quite far is able to apply for this Support without going directly to our office. So it enables every rural family to access the services provided by us Which we wish you all the success in your future work, and we hope to see you again next year at the versus forum 2017 Thank you very much Thank you
