Question 20

Extension personnel are poorly trained; not up to date and tend not to visit
farmers, but stay in their offices; management and supervision is not adequate;
two –way communication between research and extension units and between
extension staff and farmers can be achieved through this discipline

Answer 20

The Training & Visit Approach

Question 20

To induce farmers to increase production of specified crops. Purpose of what approach?

Answer 20

The Training & Visit Approach

Question 21

Better results can be achieved in a particular location, during a specified time
period, with large infusion of outside resources; high impact activities, carried on
under artificial circumstances; will have some continuity after outside financial
support is no longer available

Answer 21

The Project Approach

Question 22

To demonstrate, within the project, what can be accomplished on a relatively short period of time; to test the variety of alternative extension method. Purpose of what approach?

Answer 22

The Project Approach

Question 23

Focus which enables evaluation of effectiveness, and sometimes “quick results”, for a foreign donor; novel techniques and methods can be treated and experimented with within the limits of the projects. Advantage of what approach?

Answer 23

The project approach

Question 24

Usually too short time period; provide tends to be more than what is appropriate; flow of “good ideas” in the project to areas outside the project; double standards; when money ends, project extension programs most after end also. Disadvantage of what approach?

Answer 24

The project approach

Question 25

Highly specialized; focuses on one export crop or one aspect of farming

Answer 25

The commodity specialized approach

Question 26

Technology tends to “fit” the production problems and so message of extension officers sent to growers tend to be appropriate; because of coordination with research and marketing people, message tends to be delivered in timely manner to producers; focus on a narrow range of technical concerns; higher salary incentives; closer management and supervision; fewer farmers per extension worker; easier to monitor and evaluate; relatively more cost effectives. Advantage of what approach?

Answer 26

The Commodity Specialized Approach

Question 27

Interest of the farmers may have less priority than those of the commodity organization; does not provide advisory service to other aspects of farming; problems of the commodity organization promoting “its commodity” even in situations where it is no longer in the national interests to be increasing production of that particular commodity. Disadvantage of what approach?

Answer 27

The Commodity Specialized Approach

Question 28

Technology which fits the needs of farmers particularly small farmers, is not available and needs to be generated locally

Answer 28

The Faming System Development Approach

Question 29

Concerned with a broad range of agricultural subjects, shifting its local focus from time to time as village problems change or as need arise

Answer 29

The Agricultural Extension Participatory Approach

Question 30

Any NFE program is more likely to achieve its goal if those who benefit from it share some part of the cost; program would more likely serve interests of client if costs are shared between “outside” sponsors and “inside” target groups, commitment to learners to participate if they pay some part of the costs
