INTERPAKS, Describes the cultural based nature of home economics that is a consequence of its particular development in the US. A male agricultural extension service, when transferred overseas, has cultural and value underpinnings that have made the content of training and technical expertise inappropriate or ineffective under conditions in developing countries. To an even greater extent home economics extension, which was aimed primarily at women, has had problems in developing countries in responding to the actual activities of women in rural settings. Home economics, both domestically and overseas, has traditionally ignored farm women's production work because it has had an implicit commitment to certain cultural norms about the proper role or women. These norms may have served some function during a time in the US when the sex ratio was heavily male-biased. In developing countries, however, where sex ratios in rural areas are often skewed toward females, male temporary migration is the rule rather than the exception, and women have traditionally been the producers of food. To be effective in providing a women-oriented extension service, must take into account both the productive and reproductive roles of women and serve to help women better integrate them in their activities.

Emphasis on a farmer-centered approach by Extension rather than a top-down approach. "...farmers are still in control of which new technologies they will accept, and understanding must precede adoption."

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.
