Being innovative and an interest to learn digital agriculture can help farmers increase their yields and incomes by adopting locally suited seeds and fertiliser, protecting crops from diseases and pests (like fall armyworm or locusts), adapting to climate change, selling at the best possible price, and accessing financial services. All these applications can expand farmers’ opportunities in learning new processes and expanding new horizons thus reducing their risks.

For rural smallholder farmers, especially in developing countries, even though there has been significant adoption of digital technologies for extension services, there are still challenges that must be overcome for greater success. Digital education, limited internet connectivity, and affordability of digital services can undermine rural farmers’ capacity to fully benefit from the digital revolution.Digitally enabled extension can help newviewpoint to reach more farmers cost-effectively in a way that maximizes accountability and increases impact.
