INTERPAKS, Kingston, Jamaica: Instituto Interamericano de Ciencias Agricolas, 1979. 46 p., Presents a study of agricultural extension services in Jamaica from 1895 to present. Includes the role of the Jamaican Agricultural Society, the founding of the Jamaican School of Agriculture, the establishment of farmers' associations, and the 4-H movement. Discusses the reorganization of the extension services within the Ministry of Agriculture. Examines the current role in extension of farmers, the church, schools, 4-H clubs and home economics groups.
Findings suggest that the contribution of agricultural extension services to India's food production can be claimed to the extent of 64.20 percent especially in the Punjab where this study was conducted with 500 farmers. Agricultural information services accounted for 8.59 percent of impact (increased farm production) on 60.17 percent of farmers. Knowledge gains through publicity and training camps accounted for 8.75 percent of impact on 61.24 percent of farmers.
