Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Agricultural mechanization, the use of machinery and technology in farming, is critical for improving productivity, reducing labor intensity, and enhancing food security. In Wamba Local Government Area (LGA), Nasarawa State, traditional farming practices dominate, resulting in low yields and inefficiency. Public relations (PR) can support agricultural mechanization awareness by educating farmers, fostering partnerships, and advocating for policy support. Recent studies, such as that by Yakubu and Ibrahim (2024), demonstrate that targeted PR campaigns can significantly influence farmers' adoption of modern agricultural technologies. This study explores the role of PR in promoting agricultural mechanization awareness in Wamba LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the benefits of agricultural mechanization, adoption rates in Wamba LGA remain low due to limited awareness, financial constraints, and resistance to change. While PR has the potential to address these barriers, its role in promoting agricultural mechanization awareness has not been adequately explored in this context.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To examine the role of PR in promoting agricultural mechanization awareness in Wamba LGA.
- To identify challenges faced in implementing PR campaigns for agricultural mechanization.
- To recommend effective PR strategies for enhancing awareness and adoption of mechanization in Wamba LGA.
