Paper presented at annual meeting of The Rural Sociological Society, Hotel Somerset, Boston, Mass., USA, Aug. 26, 1968, This paper describes a five-component system with ten major internal linkages which may be used as a model for studying information flow in any rural agricultural social system. The major components are production, supply, marketing, research and extension/education. In addition, definitions are offered of the crucial variables affecting efficiency and effectiveness of communication via the linkages. Audience, message, channel, treatment and impact are described. Based on the system model and the defined variables, simple mathematical formulas are given which illustrate the relationships in impact and efficiency, and which may be used in computer simulation of information flow, or in planning change, in any rural social system.

James F. Evans Collection, Rural radio. The term can conjure up broadcasts devoted to extension work, remote from the self-expression and needs of the population and closeted in a broadcasting studio to the detriment of the field -- a negative image which has been around for 10 years, ever since the sad revelation of the shortcomings of Africa's rural radio. Now that the media are diversifying and getting their freedom, it is time to do justice to rural radio, which is and will long be the African rural populations' main, if not only, source of information in their own language. A new-style rural radio is emerging. It is closer to the people, run from a network of regional and local stations, and will both involve the rural population and be open to the world at large.

INTERPAKS, In: D.F. Cusack, ed. Agroclimate information for development : reviving the Green Revolution. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1983. p. 313-329., Addresses the challenges of the information revolution with particular emphasis on using agroclimate information for agricultural development: 1) how to sort out and organize the information already available; 2) how to identify and collect the right kinds of information; 3) how to absorb, analyze, and interpret the information; and 4) how to put it to work for the benefit of humankind. Presents a model of process approach by which agroclimate information may be transferred to benefit agricultural development.
