17 pages., via online journal article, The Sustainable Forestry and African American Land Retention
Program (SFLR) was launched in 2012 to increase adoption of sustainable forestry practices among African American landowners in
the southeastern United States to prevent land loss, increase forest
health, and build economic assets. One of its main goals was to
build communication networks through which African American
landowners could obtain and share information about forestry practices and landowner assistance programs independent of public agencies. To measure and examine the growth of these communication
networks over a three-year period (2014-2017), we conducted 87
interviews with landowners (24 of whom were interviewed multiple
times), SFLR personnel, and Federal and State staff members in
North Carolina. We used complementary methods of data gathering
and analysis, including social network analysis and qualitative analysis. Our results showed expanding communication networks will be
sustained independently of the program over time, although there is
still a heavy reliance on program personnel.
AGRICOLA IND 92017543; Proceedings of the VIII World Congress of IAALD: Information and the End User, May, 1990, Budapest, Hungary, Special requirements for delivering information to the mountain farmer and the role of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Nepal is discussed. The need to preserve "local knowledge" to let the system evolve and to introduce the technology that matches the physical and intellectural capabilities of the target group is expressed. The appropriate media to transfer the technology is presented in light of the geographic terrain of the target groups.

Evans, INTERPAKS, Using the "dissemination and utilization of knowledge" concept from Havelock, knowledge flows are viewed from a systems point of view. The agricultural knowledge system (AKS) consists of three major subsystems: the research subsystem as the generator of knowledge, the dissemination subsystem as its transmitter, and the user subsystem as its integrator into the stock of agricultural practices. Proper functioning of the AKS depends upon the solution of six functional problems: need identification, generation of knowledge, operationalization, dissemination, utilization, and evaluation of experiences. Discusses organizational issues in view of the three subsystems and the flow of knowledge through these organizations.
