Book Overview:
This book builds upon many of the themes from the first manual but gives more emphasis on the role of extension in agricultural development. Specifically, it highlights extension's role in technology transfer. This trend reflects the concern of many countries and donors about the need to expand food production to feed the growing global population. Furthermore, it explores how extension services contribute to getting improved technology to farmers, especially in developing countries where small and marginal farmers constitute more than 90% of the agricultural workforce.
By the time of this edition, national and international research investments were increasing, and the focus was on how to effectively transfer advanced agricultural technologies to nearly 1 billion farmers.
