Abstract
Better developments in farming have been achieved when the information required by farmers on agricultural technologies are made available as accessing latest information of agricultural activities will produce a sustainable farming improvement.The research is aimed at the dissemination of information to farmers through 3D visualization technology forthe development of agriculture to improve the life of citizen. The thesis examines the basic 3D form of visualization technology of major plants found in the farms of Jigawa State farming environment. The methods used in the research provided a reviewed of the related work in order to make a clear understanding of two dimensional works. Next, itmade designed of the farm information model using Sketchup with Ruby for three dimensional farms. Itstarted with observing some works previously done on disseminating information to farmers including organization and surveyed project based on how toimprove the flow of agricultural information through modern channels for sustainable farming development where the works are not 3D enabled form of disseminating information The research continues with design of Web-based farm informationtechnology which is a 3D form of information dissemination. To address none 3D limitation identified, we designed, implemented and evaluated a 3D farm information system. Results obtained showed that our 3D information system provided enhanced information dissemination to farmers in Jigawa State. Our 3D farm information system can be adapted and used in other environments to achieve better information dissemination
