Participatory practices and lessons from Scientific Animations Without Borders and a WhatsApp network in a post-COVID age: The case of video animations for rural agriculture

Summary

This book chapter explores the use of WhatsApp as a powerful tool for disseminating educational content to rural farmers, with a focus on the innovative approach of Scientific Animations Without Borders (SAWBO). By analyzing a Kenya-based WhatsApp network, the book examines how animated videos on agricultural practices, translated into local languages, impact farmer education and engagement. It highlights key lessons from the integration of digital technology in agriculture and offers insights into how these practices can shape the future of rural agricultural development.
