Goudian Gwademba, Melvin Achieng, Phinnaline Achieng
Abstract: Food security reports highlight that remote areas face limited access to information and technology critical for agricultural productivity. This study explores the relationship between extension information services and agricultural productivity among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. Using correlational analysis, including Pearson Correlation, Simple Linear Regression, and Paired Samples T-Test, the research found a strong positive relationship (r = 0.8) between extension services and productivity. These findings underscore the importance of extension information services in enhancing smallholder agricultural outcomes and contribute to policy discourse on agricultural extension globally.
