INTERPAKS, Mimeographed, 1981. Paper presented at World Bank Symposium on Promoting Increased Food Production in the 1980's, January 5-9, 1981. 38 p., Provides a state-of-the-art understanding of the critical issues and lessons about agricultural extension programs and the role of extension in different agricultural production systems. Identifies the major components of various extension approaches and describes a process to strengthen the linkages between agricultural research and farmers who are the target audience as well as the basic building block of all farming systems. Concludes with several suggestions of ways to improve existing extension systems.

INTERPAKS, In: Workshop on Linkages Between Agricultural Research and Farmers in Developing Countries; 1981 May 13-14. New York, NY : Rockefeller Foundation, 1981. 25 p., Begins with an overview of the technology development process which includes 3 principal action agents: a) the research service, b) the extension service, and c) the farmers. Points out the significant influence the service institutions and government policies have on the process. Delineates some of the weaknesses seen in the effectiveness of the various types of agents and points out the key variables in the technology development process. Raises the issues that need resolution for better linkages between agricultural research systems and the farmer. Outlines some objectives to be pursued in accelerating agricultural development. Points out the information needed on agro-climatic conditions, social and cultural characteristics, institutional and infrastructural development programs. Presents strategies for technology development through discussion of the interrelated components of generation, assessment and diffusion. Discusses the role organizations play in the process and the need to identify alternative means of implementation. Concludes with a section on the implications for assistance from donor agencies.

INTERPAKS, In: Management of transfer of farm technology, Hyderabad, India: National Institute of Rural Development, 1981. p. 106-116., Gives several illustrations to lend authenticity to the big and small in agriculture technology development and transfer. A key factor in transferring technology to, and evolving a comprehensive policy for India's agricultural sector is that agriculture is privately owned on the one hand and a state subject on the other. Transfer of technology is a good deal less simplistic than the generation and dissemination explanation. Several linkages at different levels are implied. Suggests areas for improvement in extension such as better use of available media for group or mass communication, training of functionaries, the need to reach women and youth, and a more democratic administration. The author sees a definite link between individual farmers and the groups they constitute, particularly in the area of agricultural practices. Concludes by calling for application of 'extension technology' to realize the potential of the extension system.
