Kerry J. Byrnes Collection, Academy for Educational Development, Offices of rural development,agriculture, bureau for science and technology, agency for international development. 52 pages., A key objective of the communication for technology transfer in agriculture (CTTA) project is to develop, demonstrate, and disseminate an effective methodology for using communication to support agricultural technology transfer to small farmers in developing countries.
9 pages, Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their uses are often misunderstood. Consumers are regularly unsure what GMOs are, or if they are safe for consumption and the environment. Contradictory and sometimes inaccurate information is available from numerous sources, and challenges consumers and others to separate the facts from sensationalized stories. Agricultural producers often communicate with consumers, neighbors, and members of the general public; however, they do not have information to share about GMOs. Multimedia resources can provide agricultural producers with science-based information to share with consumers. Agricultural communicators and Extension educators can create science-based multimedia resources to bridge the communication gap.
