- Includes comments and discussion by participants of the conference, In: Proceedings of the Agricultural Sector Symposia; 1980 January 7-11. Washington, D.C. : World Bank, 1980. p. 352-370., A companion paper to the one presented by J. Lindt titled "Experiences with agricultural extension and field research" on the topic of agricultural research and extension. Shows how the organization of research programs is influenced by the producer and how the communication linkage through the extension agent must be strong enough to effectively accommodate the dual role of communication between the two groups if the new technology, produced by research, is to be appropriate and adaptable to farmers' needs. Looks at problems and issues related to World Bank projects in developing nations, principally Brazil. The strong general consensus suggest that both research and extension services in many nations are still very weak and that the technology now available, particularly that developed by the international agricultural research centers, cannot be disseminated on a large scale until strong national programs in research and extension are established.

- Mason E. Miller Collection; See C02360 for original, In: Kumble, Vrinda, ed. Proceedings of the International Symposium on Development and Transfer of Technology for Rainfed Agriculture and the SAT Farmer; 1979 August 28 - September 1; ICRISAT Center, Patancheru, India. Andhra Pradesh, India : International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, 1980. p. 275-279, Delineates goals for establishing linkages between the activity areas of research, extension (communication), and farmers (production): a) linkages should transfer technology rapidly to benefit the greatest number of farmers; b) the new technology should be economically viable, safe, and acceptable to farmers; and c) the technology should satisfy the political, economic, and social needs of the country. Discusses for each activity area their respective responsibilities, the major problems deserving attention in each area, and corrective measures which must be taken to promote the formation of effective linkages.

- Notes:
- INTERPAKS, In: Workshop on Linkages Between Agricultural Research and Farmers in Developing Countries; 1981 May 13-14. New York, NY : Rockefeller Foundation, 1981. 25 p., Begins with an overview of the technology development process which includes 3 principal action agents: a) the research service, b) the extension service, and c) the farmers. Points out the significant influence the service institutions and government policies have on the process. Delineates some of the weaknesses seen in the effectiveness of the various types of agents and points out the key variables in the technology development process. Raises the issues that need resolution for better linkages between agricultural research systems and the farmer. Outlines some objectives to be pursued in accelerating agricultural development. Points out the information needed on agro-climatic conditions, social and cultural characteristics, institutional and infrastructural development programs. Presents strategies for technology development through discussion of the interrelated components of generation, assessment and diffusion. Discusses the role organizations play in the process and the need to identify alternative means of implementation. Concludes with a section on the implications for assistance from donor agencies.
