Abstract
Over the years, the horticultural industry has seen growing awareness and implementation of more recent and modern technology and practices to achieve better results and increase efficiency, especially in farming. For developing countries like Nigeria, the horticultural sector needs to act quickly to meet growing food demands and overcome the many limitations in the industry. This is because there is a high failure rate due to different climatic and farming conditions when implemented directly in Nigeria with no altercations. To overcome this, co-creation has been proposed as a solution whereby the local farmers are given the opportunity to come up with and realize working solutions befitting their environment. This research thesis aims to explore the realistic applicability of factors that affect horticultural technology co-creation with local farmers in southwest Nigeria. An in-depth literature review to identify relevant and applicable frameworks on co-creation is carried out....
