A Gamified Digital Platform for Sustainable Farming Practices: Simulation, Statistical Analysis, and Water Resource Management Implications
Abstract: Sustainable farming practices play a critical role in enhancing agricultural water use efficiency, conserving limited water resources, and ensuring long-term food security under increasing environmental and climatic pressures. Despite their importance, farmer participation in conventional agricultural extension and training programs remains limited due to low engagement and a lack of sustained motivation. To address this challenge, this study proposes a gamified digital decision-support platform aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural and …
