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.
