private sector, INTERPAKS, In V. W. Ruttan (Ed.), Agricultural research policy and development. Rome: Food and Agriculture Organization by the United Nations, 1985. (draft manuscript). 45 p., Explores the relationship between research and extension systems. Details the factors determining the utilization of research results as well as the importance of the feedback mechanisms. Presents examples of approaches to improve linkages between research and extension, such as on-farm trials, farming systems research, and use of extension technical liaison personnel. The final section discusses complementarity between research and extension and provides suggestions toward facilitating cooperation between the two organizations.

search through journal, Scientific research in Africa should be aimed at optimizing human and material resources. Scientific education is of fundamental importance in promoting the growth of productivity. While African technological growth is desirable, it must be considered in the light of the relevant cultural and economic backgrounds. Technological transfer should be approached with caution, and only appropriate or adaptable techniques should be imported. Capital-intensive industries of the West are not suitable for third world countries with much labour and little capital (original)
