Andhra Pradesh, India : International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, 1980. p. 275-279, Delineates goals for establishing linkages between the activity areas of research, extension (communication), and farmers (production): a) linkages should transfer technology rapidly to benefit the greatest number of farmers; b) the new technology should be economically viable, safe, and acceptable to farmers; and c) the technology should satisfy the political, economic, and social needs of the country. Discusses for each activity area their respective responsibilities, the major problems deserving attention in each area, and corrective measures which must be taken to promote the formation of effective linkages.
