INTERPAKS, Considers the importance of farm management in ensuring compatibility of extension content with the motives and constraints of individual peasant farmers. Emphasizes the need for a modicum of farm management expertise in the communication of innovation from extension agent to farmer but questions the suitability of advanced farm management techniques for this purpose. It is argued that, if the potential contribution of farm management is to be realized, there is a need for an intermediate and appropriate farm management technology.
