The Digital Frontier in Agriculture: Exploring Cyber Extension Adoption and Research Gaps

Author(s): Dr. Varsha Parikh and Amlan Jyoti Thakur

Abstract:

This narrative article reviews the existing literature on "cyber extension" in agricultural services, with a specific focus on the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework. It examines how ICTs are integrated into agricultural extension, particularly within Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) in India (with an emphasis on Assam) and among agricultural experts globally. The review highlights key conceptual and empirical findings, identifies prevailing research trends, compares and contrasts various studies, and delineates significant research gaps. The objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of cyber extension adoption, its challenges, and its potential, ultimately proposing a way forward for more effective implementation and research.
