Librarians and information workers should participate actively in disseminating agricultural information
to farmers in Nigeria using audio-visual materials and Information Communication Technologies. This
paper looks into the role ofinformation in boosting food and cash crops production in Nigeria. It highlights
the problems associated with information dissemination to farmers in the country. Better agricultural
practice and high associated yields can, however, be realized in the country through the provision of
relevant agricultural information to farmers. Librarians and information workers in the country should
make useful agricultural information available, and on time via researchers, agricultural extension agents
or direct to farmers; using audio-visual materials as a way of contributing to improve on the current food
insecurity. Agricultural information delivered in the language of the farmers is likely to yield positive
results.
