Abstract: Abstract Agricultural information literacy is essential for empowering farmers, agribusinesses, and rural communities to make informed decisions that enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience in an evolving agricultural landscape. This paper examines the role of creativity and innovation in developing and delivering agricultural information services that cater to the diverse needs of these communities. Focusing on the integration of digital tools, user-centered design, and community-driven approaches, this study examines how innovative information services promote effective knowledge transfer, support sustainable practices, and improve market access. Through a descriptive analysis of emerging trends, including mobile applications, online platforms, digital libraries, and localized information hubs, this paper identifies the strategies that have successfully fostered agricultural information literacy.
