Abstract
With the development of Information Communication Technologies(ICTs), family engagement and to a larger extent social engagement has evolved from traditional media to digital media. Many countries have shifted from using agricultural extension officers to using of digital technology in accessing agriculture related information to enhance overall economic growth. Farmers in Kenya continue to face a multitude of problems to maximize crop and animal productivity. It is a fact that Kenya possesses valuable agricultural knowledge and expertise in addition to fertile soils. However, a wide information gap exists between research knowledge and the farmers. Farmers need timely expert advice to make them more productive and competitive.
