Project Abstract

Abstract
The adoption of sustainable agricultural practices is crucial for ensuring food security, improving environmental sustainability, and enhancing the livelihoods of farmers in rural communities. However, farmers in rural areas often face challenges in accessing information and training on sustainable practices. This research project aims to investigate the potential of using mobile technology to enhance farmer training and adoption of sustainable practices in crop production in rural communities. The research will be conducted in rural communities in [specific geographical area]. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with farmers, agricultural extension workers, and technology experts. The research will focus on understanding the current challenges faced by farmers in accessing training on sustainable practices, as well as exploring the potential of mobile technology as a tool for delivering training and information to farmers. The literature review will provide a comprehensive overview of the existing research on sustainable agricultural practices, farmer training, mobile technology in agriculture, and extension services in rural areas. The review will highlight the importance of farmer training in adopting sustainable practices and the potential benefits of using mobile technology to enhance training and information dissemination. The research methodology will include data collection through surveys and interviews, data analysis using statistical tools and qualitative analysis software, and the development of a mobile training platform tailored to the needs of farmers in rural communities. The study will also assess the effectiveness of the mobile training platform in enhancing farmer knowledge and adoption of sustainable practices. The findings of the research will be discussed in detail in Chapter Four, highlighting the key challenges faced by farmers in accessing training on sustainable practices and the potential of mobile technology in addressing these challenges. The discussion will also explore the implications of the research findings for agricultural extension services and policy interventions aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture in rural communities. In conclusion, this research project will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of mobile technology in enhancing farmer training and adoption of sustainable practices in crop production. The findings of the study will have implications for policymakers, agricultural extension workers, technology developers, and other stakeholders involved in promoting sustainable agriculture in rural communities.
