Notes:
INTERPAKS, In: M. Drosdoff, ed. World food issues, 2nd ed. Ithaca, NY: Center for the Analysis of World Food Issues, Program in International Agriculture, Cornell University, 1984. p. 65-71., Discusses factors and strategies necessary in developing countries to increase food production by agricultural research and technology transfer. Notes that factors affecting these issues include: (1) available physical and biological resources as they promote or constrain food production (2) the milieu for the initiation, development, testing, and delivery of new and improved technology appropriate to a given environment (local research and extension institutions); (3) government policies relative to incentives for farmers to produce more food; and, (4) existence of regional and international institutions to facilitate the generation and transfer of technology. Strategies identified as appropriate to the transfer of technology are: (1) the indigenous capability to understand the technology to be transferred; (2) adequately trained extension agents; (3) availability of researchers to modify the technology to fit local conditions; (4) ability to generate technology in situ; and (5) on-going farmer training.

INTERPAKS, In: G.E. Jones and M.J. Rolls (eds.), Progress in rural extension and community development. Vol. 1, Extension and relative advantage in rural development. Chicester, U.K.: John Wiley, 1982. p. 87-115., In many developing nations, serious efforts are being made to develop agricultural extension services into systems which can serve the broad masses of small agricultural producers, instead of only a few high-access farmers. Objectives have shifted to providing income-generating opportunities to small farmers; to increasing equity in rural areas; to broaden integrated rural development; or to organize rural people so as to allow them to carry their own development. Discusses the elements of the extension process. When extension objectives change, other elements must also change because the elements form an interconnected whole. Aims to systematically explore the implications of a change in extension objectives for the other elements of the process.
