Transfer of technology
The General Agricultural Extension Approach
to help farmers increase their production. Purpose of what approach?
The General Agricultural Extension Approach
Technology and information are available but are not being used by farmers. If
these could be communicated to farmers, farm practice would improve
The General Agricultural Extension Approach
Controlled by government and changes in priority, from time to time, are made on
a national basis, with some freedom for local adaptation. Purpose of what approach?
The General Agricultural Extension Approach
Carried out by a large field staff assigned throughout the country. Demonstration
plots are a major technique. Purpose of what approach?
The General Agricultural Extension Approach
interprets national government policies and procedures to local people; covers the
whole nation, relatively easy to control by the national government; relatively
rapid communication from the ministry level to rural people. Advantages of what approach?
