INTERPAKS, In: D.F. Cusack, ed. Agroclimate information for development : reviving the Green Revolution. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1983. p. 313-329., Addresses the challenges of the information revolution with particular emphasis on using agroclimate information for agricultural development: 1) how to sort out and organize the information already available; 2) how to identify and collect the right kinds of information; 3) how to absorb, analyze, and interpret the information; and 4) how to put it to work for the benefit of humankind. Presents a model of process approach by which agroclimate information may be transferred to benefit agricultural development.
AGRICOLA IND 92017545; Presented at the VIII World Congress of IAALD, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, The mid-term review of the Fifth Malaysia Plan (1986-1990) has stated that emphasis will be placed on accelerating transfer fo technology to small holders to improve their productivity and efficiency. Technology transfer can be achieved through publications, newspapers, radio and television networks and interpersonal methods as exemplified by the Agricultural Information Dissemination Programme launched in 1983 by the Ministry of Agriculture which has contributed to increased farmers' awareness of new agricultural technologies. Communication through the printed media can be tailored to specific clientele needs if their demography, psychological response, literacy and real information demands are understood. The advent of information technology has benefited Malaysia in the transfer of technology by reducing costs in terms of time. This is seem in the rapidity with which information can be mass produced for dissemination by using desktop publishing which further allows information transfer though the printed media to be expedited, thus bringing to the farmers new information quickly. This approach to publication is not only more cost effective, but faster.
