Keynote address presented at the IAALD Regional Conference; 1988 November 21-24; the Universiti Pertanian, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, The factors limiting the effective use of agricultural information in developing countries are identified as: lack of knowledge about the users' needs; inadequate access and/or lack of awareness of conventional and unconventional sources of information; lack of attention to the creation of local data sources; lack of knowledge about how to find information and how best to communicate it. The solutions are seen to be: creating an awareness of the value of information; getting governments and agencies to provide the necessary information sources, equipment, staff and training; getting closer cooperation on information initiatives and projects that really are needed. The key issue is seen to be the lack of a global long-term plan that could be used as a guide for individual governments and agencies. (original)
AGRICOLA FNI 92002454, This brief article describes a survey conducted by Georgia Extension nutrition and health specialists to determine the types of nutrition information adults are interested in, and identify the sources used to obtain this information. (original)
AGRICOLA FNI 92000713, Personal interviews were conducted with 116 free-living, yet frail older adults in an urban setting to determine their nutrition interests and their preferred methods of acquiring nutrition information. Two nutritionists specializing in aging, one health educator, and one trained senior volunteer conducted interviews at respondents' homes; respondents were either current or potential customers of a nonprofit home-delivery grocery service. The focused interviews used a pilot tested questionnaire designed to elicit basic program planning information: 1) topics of interest, 2) preferred presentation methods, including structure of class settings, and 3) current sources of nutrition information. Analysis of the results showed that frail elderly people are interested in a variety of topics relating to nutrition and health, especially getting their money's worth in buying foods and nutrient retention in food preparation. Respondents found written materials to be both the most interesting information presentation method and the most helpful information source. They identified other helpful sources of food/nutrition information as follows: food package labels, television programs, cookbooks, physicians and home economists, dietitians and nutritionists. Survey results can serve to guide effective educational strategies for older adults. (original)

search from AgEcon., Faculty Paper 98-03. 25 p., Agribusinesses in the cattle-beef sector use information from both external sources and proprietary sources in the
management decision making process. This research reports the results of personal interviews with employees at all levels of the beef market channel, covering the information resources that they value and the priority their firms place on information. Respondents used data on prices and cattle inventories collected by the public sector, data on retail grocery sales made available through private firms, and data and analysis from trade associations. Companies involved in meat packing and retail distribution use information technologies to automate delivery and billing for products and they are investing in improved systems. A barrier to a more efficient supply chain in beef is the incomplete implementation of retail scanner systems for fresh meat.

public-private balance in information services in agriculture. Its objectives were to: (1)contact front-line private- sector analysts who handle economic issues in agriculture and ask them about the data and information they most value and why, (2) experiment with measurement instruments to segment and describe information attributes that users value; and (3) assess the interest of front- line analysts in the changing public-private balance in information provision. The results provide a list of information services used by analysts, descriptive responses on attributes that contribute to value- added, and statistical analysis relating respondent characteristics to the use of information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

cited reference, In 1970 the need for a news and review journal directed towards extension and research workers was assessed by a survey carried out in three areas of Victoria, two of Queensland and one of New South Wales. One hundred and seven completed questionnaires, when analyzed, indicated that there was no real demand or prospective audience for such a journal. It was suggested that circulars dealing with the direct application of research results should be further developed. These should be aimed primarily at extension officers but should be freely available to professional agricultural scientists.
cited reference, Results of a pilot survey of farmers' machinery problems made in 1973 showed that farmers largely depended on their own experience and that of other farmers for information on machinery problems.
