Review of R.E. Rhoades and R.H. Booth, "Farmer-back-to-farmer: a model for generating acceptable agricultural technology," Agricultural Administration, October 1982, pp. 127-137.
INTERPAKS, Reviews how the agricultural extension agent has dealt with the process of technology transfer and the categories of farmers affected by the diffusion process. Discusses CIMMYT's model of grouping rural populations into homogenous target categories to develop appropriate technologies and the influence it has had on the process of technology development. Points out that strategies intended to assist small farmers depend as much on the creation of appropriate opportunities as on the creation of appropriate technologies.
