Project Abstract

Abstract
Digital technologies have been increasingly integrated into various sectors to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and the agricultural sector is no exception. This research aims to assess the impact of digital technologies on knowledge transfer in agricultural extension services. The focus is on understanding how the adoption of digital tools and platforms influences the dissemination of agricultural information and practices to farmers. The study will explore the benefits and challenges associated with using digital technologies in agricultural extension services and analyze their implications for improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
