Recent advancements in technology and digital connectivity have transformed agriculture, with e-extension leading this change. It provides real-time access to vital information—such as weather forecasts, market prices, and best practices—through mobile devices.

It also offers scalable training on sustainable practices and financial literacy, improving market access and profitability. Despite challenges like the digital divide and infrastructure limitations, e-extension optimizes resource use, reduces environmental impact, and supports sustainable development, representing a significant opportunity to modernize agriculture and empower farmers for inclusive growth.
Keywords: data-driven agriculture, digital agriculture, e-extension, IoT in agriculture, market access.
