In the context of globalization and rapidly changing technologies, progress in communication is becoming key to enhancing the effectiveness of interactions at the farmer level. This paper explores how up-to-date communication tools develop the unification of international partners from academia and agricultural enterprises, which in turn increases the exchange of knowledge and technology. The main attention is paid to the role of communication as the principal tool for knowledge transfer, the impact on the productiveness and sustainability of agriculture, as well as the issues of established communication channels. Modern technologies such as digital platforms, mobile applications, and cloud services and examples of their effective application in farmers' practice are considered. The paper also highlights the significance of global scientific and agricultural cooperation, emphasizing the importance of disseminating multinational scientific knowledge and best practices. Communication obstacles, such as language as well as culture, are discussed and strategies for overcoming them are proposed.
