INTERPAKS, In: Report of an exploratory Workshop on the Role of Anthropologists and Other Social Scientists in Interdisciplinary Teams Developing Improved Food Production Technology, Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines: International Rice Research Institute, 1982. p. 43-61., Provides a discussion of the role of the social scientist in the development and implementation of the technologies with the Maasai project in Tanzania to give some understanding of the constraints to success. First discusses two interrelated technologies: scientific and managerial. Explores the various roles played by the social scientist in these technologies over the project's lifetime. Discusses the conflicts that arose from these tasks.

papers move beyond the questions of who adopts technologies to ask how preferences for characteristics (of maize in Mexico or cattle in Burkina Faso) affect adoption and how technical change differentially affects semi-subsistence farmers and how it affects productivity and yield variability.

Conference paper / journal article, The paper focused on COVID-19 pandemic, its implication on the Nigeria agriculture and the role of extension. The review uncovered a subtle but undeniable negative impact on all the value chain of the Nigeria agriculture. One of the most important factors that may avert this negative impact is agricultural extension service. With lockdown, travel ban and social distancing, the way out becomes technology. Government and institutions at all levels should intentionally deploy technology tools to aid effective agricultural extension service to farmers.

These seven are research, extension, client, inputs, economic, psycho-socio-cultural and administrative-organizational systems, all of which are not discrete but overlapping.

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.
