This study highlights the role of community radio as a strategic tool for disseminating renewable energy information in rural agricultural settings. It examines how radio stations in India and Zambia increased farmer awareness and uptake of climate-resilient technologies such as solar irrigation and organic farming. The research underscores participatory communication, interactive storytelling, and geospatial mapping as enablers of decentralized climate action. By analyzing case studies like Radio Bundelkhand and Radio Kwenje, the paper illustrates how community radio can help overcome infrastructure barriers and literacy gaps. It recommends scaling community radio across low-access regions to accelerate climate adaptation. The findings affirm that localized media is a powerful enabler for behavioral change and environmental sustainability in agriculture.
