Background: Developing an effective and sustainable framework for agricultural research and production is a key priority for Nigeria. The country has the potential of becoming a leading force in African agriculture but faces challenges due to insufficient communication among key stakeholders.
Objective: A Strategic Participatory and Sustainable Development Communication (SPS DevComm) framework is proposed to improve technological transfer among Agricultural Research Institutes in Nigeria.
Method: The study utilized a literature review and qualitative research design, incorporating document review and library research as data collection methods to gather secondary data. The data were purposefully selected to provide information-rich content in line with the study.
Result: The findings highlight the need for an integrated approach, including diverse communication strategies, comprehensive research planning, linkages, and feedback with end users, along with a public-private partnership (PPP).
Conclusion: The study concludes that an alternative participatory communication framework is imperative for sustainable agricultural productivity in Nigeria.
Unique Contribution: This study provided empirical evidence that could be beneficial in advancing sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria through participatory communication.
Key Recommendation: The study proposes a participatory communication framework to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability in Nigeria by fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among farmers, researchers, and other agricultural stakeholders.
