• This article investigates the link between information literacy and farmers’ decision-making processes, highlighting the potential for improving information literacy to promote sustainable agricultural practices. This study employed a mixed-methods approach – that is, qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques.

  It was found that gender did not significantly influence the reported skills and behaviours. However, the use of digital technologies showed a significant positive correlation with seeking information on new agricultural practices (r = .254, p < .01). This shows that proficient users of digital tools are more likely to seek new agricultural information actively. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration and knowledgesharing among farmers and stakeholders to effectively use agricultural information in decision-making, with implications for academic research and practical agricultural interventions.
