AGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRODUCERS: A STUDY ON AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES

Abstract

The study explore agricultural awareness among expanding agricultural producers and discovered considerable gaps in understanding among their everywhere. The profitability and sustainability of expanding agricultural producers can be hampered by gaps in agricultural knowledge. In a mixed- method survey, a large public were asked about their knowledge, awareness, and familiarity with agricultural issues, as well as their direct experiences and interactions with agricultural production.  The study's findings revealed areas requiring further education and awareness by revealing perspectives and understanding of agricultural methods. The study identified substantial disparities in agricultural production experience against no experience, suggesting that people with less exposure may have been exposed to older practices. Agricultural literacy efforts and hands-on learning at agritourism destinations, agricultural fairs, and expositions may improve agricultural experiences and help bridge the gap between producers and consumers. Therefore, increasing understanding and appreciation for the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. This can lead to more sustainable agricultural practices and support for local farmers.
