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.

Hyderabad, India : National Institute of Rural Development, 1981. p. 49-68 (Paper presented at the National Workshop on Management of Transfer of Farm Technology; 1979 November 19-24; National Institute of Rural Development, Hyderabad, India), Discusses the production dissemination and utilization of technology and observes that the natural as well as cultural environment affect technology. Credits the Indian agricultural research system as the major determinant of productivity change in dissemination of agricultural research. Concedes that determinants of the adoption are client orientation, environment, the technology itself, and communication variables. Concludes that technology transfer has been strangled by various non-technological factors.

INTERPAKS, Mimeographed, 1981. Paper presented at Workshop on Linkages between Agricultural Research and Farmers in Developing Countries, Paris, France, May 13-14, 1981. 6 p., Describes a project aimed at integrating pastoral societies into a modern production economy. The method used was aimed at constant information and consultation with the breeders concerned. An interdisciplinary team of investigators/advisors visited the area concerned. Continuous participation of breeders was sought, taking into account their views and concerns. Special broadcasts on the national radio were used to inform breeders about modernization projects in the pastoral area.

INTERPAKS, In: V. Kumble (ed.). Proceedings of the International Symposium on Development and Transfer of Technology for Rainfed Agriculture and the SAT Farmer, August 28 - September 1, 1979. Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, 1980. p. 231-233., Identifies the need for a code or framework for the transfer of technology. Discusses the necessity of such a framework to strengthen the capacity of developing countries for organizing and receiving new techniques and improving access to technology at prices all can afford. Identifies the establishment and development of facilities for technical and in-service training in the countries themselves as prerequisites for the efficient and durable transfer to technology. Notes that new technologies must be assimilated, modified, and adapted to conditions peculiar to each country. Discusses fact that agricultural research carried out in developed countries involves means of production that have nothing in common with those of the small farmer of Upper Volta. Stresses that scientists are needed who can assimilate the people's everyday problems and work out a realistic research program that will raise the technological level of the farmer.
