Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed modern agriculture, offering farm- ers innovative tools for farm management, market access, and information dissemination. This study explores the adoption of digital platforms and tools among farmers, focusing on usage patterns, prefer- ences, and trends. Using a descriptive-analytical research design, data were collected from 100 farmers across three major agricultural regions through structured questionnaires. Findings reveal that mo- bile-based agricultural apps and social media platforms are the most widely used digital tools, particu- larly among younger and more educated farmers. Adoption is influenced by demographic factors such as age, education level, farm size, and gender, with notable disparities in access and utilization. While many farmers benefit from real-time market information, weather updates, and advisory services, chal- lenges such as limited digital literacy, lack of awareness, and infrastructural constraints hinder wide- spread adoption. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions, including training programs, user-friendly platforms, and policies that promote inclusive access to digital technologies. Overall, the research provides valuable insights into bridging the digital divide in agriculture and enhancing the effectiveness of ICT-driven farming solutions.
