Agricultural extension is currently undergoing significant transformations around the world, with a heightened demand for public extension reform. The knowledge infrastructure for agriculture is evolving in a big way, as new actors and innovations emerge to cater to the needs of farmers. This book aims to document the past experiences and recent developments in the agriculture knowledge information systems by compiling the experiences of 14 countries, including Afghanistan, Benin, Cote dIvoire, Ghana, India, Iran, Mozambique, Nepal, Peru, Philippines, Trinidad and Tobago, and Zimbabwe.
The 14 countries covered in the book highlight the various extension system reforms that are being implemented worldwide, including decentralization, privatization, demand-driven, and cost-recovery approaches, as well as institutional pluralism involving public, private, and NGO actors. Additionally, the book also showcases various innovations in agricultural extension, such as farmer-to-farmer extension, participatory and self-help group approaches, and ICT initiatives.
This book will be of great relevance to agricultural extension students, academicians, scientists, practitioners, administrators, and policy-makers who are looking to design future reforms, advance pluralistic extension systems, and integrate innovations into their extension approaches.
