INTERPAKS, In: Cernea, M.M., Coulter, J.K., and Russell, J.F., eds. Research-extension-farmer : a two-way continuum for agricultural development, proceedings of a World Bank and UNDP Symposium held in Denpasar, Indonesia, March 1984. Washington, D.C. : The World Bank, 1985. p. 3-10, A recurrent theme of most discussions on agricultural research and extension is that the linkages between these two vital parts of the agricultural support services are often weak or nonexistent. This paper briefly discusses the main causes of the weak links between extension and research, the choices confronting policy makers in deciding on investments for research and extension, the overriding need for responding to the production problems of the farmers, and the neglect and importance of the social science perspective in developing the research-extension-farm continuum.
search through journal, CGIAR - the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, established in 1971 - is a consortium of international, national and private agencies, through which 13 international agricultural research centres and related institutions are funded. The emphasis, clearly, is on the word "international", and the centres specialise in work which needs the facilities that can best be provided by large, well equipped, international institutions - although the results of their work reach farmers through national sources. At the time of the groups' tenth anniversary, Professor Bunting considers its history and structure and assesses its achievements, its problems and its prospects.
