Approaches in Extension

A

❑ The Training and Visit Approach
❑ The Project Approach
❑ The Commodity Specialized Approach
❑ The Farming System Development Approach
❑ The Agricultural Extension Participatory Approach
❑ The Cost Sharing Approach
❑ Educational Institution Approach
❑ Participatory Approach
❑ Mass Approach
❑ Single Purpose Approach
❑ Community Approach
❑ Area Approach
❑ Integrated Approach

20
Q

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

A

The Training & Visit Approach

20
Q

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

A

The Training & Visit Approach

21
Q

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

A

The Project Approach

22
Q

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?

A

The Project Approach

23
Q

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?

A

The project approach

24
Q

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?

A

The project approach

25
Q

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

A

The commodity specialized approach

26
Q

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?

A

The Commodity Specialized Approach

27
Q

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?

A

The Commodity Specialized Approach

28
Q

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

A

The Faming System Development Approach

29
Q

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

A

The Agricultural Extension Participatory Approach

30
Q

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

A

The Cost Sharing Approach

31
Q

Extension done by an academic institution

A

Educational Institution Approach

32
Q

popular in irrigation system development,
agrarian reform, local governance, and technology generation, verification up to
utilization.

A

Participatory Approach

33
Q

approach institutionalizes the democratic process wherein every member
of a group of target users must be involved in the whole process of program / project
development:

A

Participatory Approach

34
Q

This approach provides an opportunity for project beneficiaries or targets of
technology promotion to be involved in all stages of program/ projects development

A

Participatory Approach

35
Q

the target adopters of technology are
the mass of people whose identity and number are unknown

A

Mass Approach

36
Q

The extension agency as the initiator of techno promotion is promoting a single
technology

A

Single Purpose Approach

37
Q

They can use different methods and strategies but focus on the
number of products disposed / sold.

A

Single Purpose Approach

38
Q

An extension agency whether public or private, assists a community to develop in all
aspects- economic, social, cultural, political and environmental. The main objective is
total community development.

A

Community Approach

39
Q

The target is categorized by regions (region 1,2,3, etc.). It can be categorized
according to ecological zones as lowland, upland, and coastal areas

A

Area approach

40
Q

can be used in different modes. This can be in the context
of project implementation of a specific project like hybrid rice production. The
program puts together the services of various agencies to implement a particular
program. These agencies share their resources, agree on common goals and
approaches.
