Participatory video as an extension approach is bringing together the local communities with their own knowledge and capacity for research on one platform with the researchers and other professionals. In lieu with limitations of wider communication gap in agriculture extension to solve the production problems of a large majority of small farmers there is a frantic search for alternative approach to develop useful technologies. There is a need to make farmers more active partners in technology development process. It is a useful means of sharing knowledge with farmers, scientists, extension workers, agricultural journalists and other rural development professionals. The paper highlighted the impact of participatory video in specifically in agriculture through various cases. The functions and working of participatory video and its role in agriculture communication have also been studied. Finally, the study supports the use of participatory video as a means of knowledge sharing and information exchange among farmers and its future implication.
