It investigates the consequences of unreliable, misleading, and conflicting information on farmers’ trust, decision-making, and adoption of climate-smart agriculture. The author introduces an information disorder perspective to agricultural communication, demonstrating that the presence of inaccurate information is as significant a barrier as its absence. Fusing communication studies with agricultural science and ethics, the author examines the responsibilities of extension agencies, governments, media, and digital platforms in protecting vulnerable communities from harmful misinformation. It raises important questions about accountability and trust within agricultural information systems. By providing a contextualised African perspective on a growing global issue, this work offers new insights and practical directions for researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners. It is an essential read for researhers and policy mankers in communication studies, sustainable agriculture, and food security.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n    \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n  \u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKehinde Olukayode Oladeji is a lecturer and researcher in the Department of General Studies, Federal University of Agriculture and Technology, Okeho, Nigeria.
