Asian Journal of Research and Review in Agriculture

This research investigates whether local government efforts to acquire land plots influence Nigerian farmers planning to use digital agriculture. Information was gathered from 300 farmers by conducting a quantitative cross-sectional survey in Benue, Kaduna, and Ogun States. It was found that having enough land obtained proactively has a positive impact on farmers’ intention to adopt new things, and both land tenure security (M = 4.2) and easy access to legal help (M = 3.8) are particularly significant. Perceived usefulness (M = 4.1) and perceived ease of use (M = 3.9) both played a mediating role, matching what is stated in the TAM. Statistics showed that there were strong differences (t > 2.93, p < 0.05) between states, proving farmers with safe land tenure tend to use digital technologies more frequently. High price points and not having the proper training are significant obstacles, but government help and community courses help encourage people to use digital technology. This research suggests that improving the security of rural land and the technological skills of farmers is necessary to promote work and discoveries in Nigeria’s agriculture sector. It would be helpful for policymakers to update land tenure laws and offer digital training to farmers.
