1.1 Background of the Study
Agriculture remains the backbone of Nigeria's economy, yet farmers in rural areas like Argungu LGA, Kebbi State, face numerous challenges, including inadequate policies, poor infrastructure, and limited access to resources. Public Relations (PR) plays a critical role in advocating for improved agricultural policies by amplifying farmers' voices, influencing policymakers, and raising public awareness.
PR strategies such as stakeholder meetings, media advocacy, and community engagement have been effective in shaping agricultural policies and improving farming conditions (Abdullahi & Bello, 2023). This study examines the role of PR in advocating for improved agricultural policies in Argungu LGA.
