Improving agricultural extension: reference manual
Reviewing theory and best practices
Editors suggest agricultural research and extension must become more demand driven if institutions are to maintain or regain the public trust and to compete effectively for public funds.
Manual lays out the evolution of agricultural extension over time, outlines different extension approaches that have emerged over the past thirty to forty years, revisits the role of extension in the development process, and summarizes the economic contribution of extension to agricultural and rural development.
