The adoption of best practises by farmers can be hampered in a number of ways by a lack of information and digital tools :-
Limited Information: For farmers to stay current on the most recent agricultural practices, techniques, and technology, they must have access to timely and pertinent information. Farmers might not be aware of best practices, such as improved crop types, effective irrigation systems, ways for managing pests and diseases, and methods for managing soil health, if they lack access to information.
Ineffective Decision-Making: Farmers can make well-informed decisions regarding their farming operations thanks to access to information and digital technologies. It aids them in evaluating, among other things, market trends, climatic conditions, input availability, and pricing data. Farmers’ capacity to make decisions is hampered by a lack of such information.
Limited Access to Expertise: Farmers have access to information and digital technologies for technical assistance, guidance from experts, and extension services. They enable farmers to get advice on managing crops, preventing diseases, enhancing soil fertility, and other farming-related issues. Without such access, farmers could struggle to address problems and implement best practises because they lack professional advice.
