Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 3-13., The Asian small farmers must be reached directly if they are to share in the benefits of development. In order to reach them, channels must be built for delivery of goods, technology, services and credit. Farmer organizations are essential links to this delivery system and, thus, are crucial to rural development. In the long run, rural development must embrace all activities for the betterment of rural livelihood. However, to lump many activities of a different nature together and call the product "integrated" has led to the failure of many projects. True integration should be built around activities directed at solving critical farm level problems faced by large numbers of farmers. (original)

Food Consumption and Nutrition Division Discussion Paper 195 and Markets, Trade, and Institutions Division Discussion Paper 89. 44 pages., This paper examines how market institutions can affect links between urban and rural areas with specific emphasis on goods market integration in the national context. Traditionally, development researchers and practitioners have focused either on rural market development or on urban market development without considering the interdependencies and synergies between the two. However, more than ever before, emerging local and global patterns such as the modern food value-chain led by supermarkets and food processors, rapid urbanization, changes in dietary composition, and enhanced information and communication technologies point to the need to pay close attention to the role of markets both in linking rural areas with intermediate cities and market towns and promotion of economic development and poverty reduction. This paper begins with a presentation of a conceptual framework of market integration and then identifies five major factors that increase the transfer costs that subsequently hinder market integration between rural and urban areas: information asymmetry, transaction costs, transport and communication costs, policy induced barriers, and social and noneconomic factors. Five specific cases in five developing countries are examined in this study to demonstrate the primary sources of transfer costs and the aspects of market institutions that are important to market integration and promotion of rural-urban linkages. While emerging institutions such as modern intermediaries linked to supermarkets and food processors can reduce information asymmetries between rural producers and urban consumers, existing institutions such as producers’ cooperatives can pool the risks, increase the bargaining power of small producers, reduce enforcement costs, and thereby reduce transaction costs. In addition, new types of partnerships between businesses and NGOs, and between public and private sectors, can improve infrastructure provision which, in turn, can reduce transport and communication costs. To the contrary, the presence of inappropriate policies or noneconomic factors such as those that involve social exclusion take on a negative role in linking urban and rural markets.
Online via keyword search of UI e-catalog., Authors exmined the "forgotten history" of a scientific literature involving relationship between the media and farmers from the 1960s to date. "Farmers were once greatly valued in the media. There was a tacit agreement between members of the farming, government, and journalistic elite on the portrayal of the modern farmer figure. And yet this unity began to dissolve in the 1980s. Farmers were challenged in the public eye: awareness was raised about union struggles, doubt was cast on the cost of agricultural activities financed by society, new environmental concerns arose, promoted by journalists, and a series of health-related crises flourished in the 1990s."
In an issue located in a chronological file entitled "INTERPAKS - Newsletter" from the International Programs records of the Agricultural Communications Program, University of Illinois., From the International Programs records of the Agricultural Communications Program, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign., Author introduces reasons why top-down management and decision making generally results in ineffective extension systems. Also addresses reasons why resistance to organizational change is so persistent and difficult. "Huge benefits will come from changing to a decentralized system that fosters acceptance of responsibility through incentives and provides for local programming through involvement and interaction with the clientele."

20 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, This article centered on the representation of food additives as a matter of key importance to the public's conceptualization of them. Findings from a systematic qualitative study of the magazines of two Belgian consumer organizations revealed that additives were seen as providing no benefits to consumers, for they could be used to reduce the quality of both the ingredients and the production process. They were perceived as a means of deceiving the public, with portrayal of consumers as powerless in the struggle for control over the types and amounts of additives they ingested. In turn, the limitations were seen as a failure of government and scientific institutions to provide the necessary protection.

Notes:
James F. Evans Collection, Ham, Mimeographed, 1994. 1 p. Presented at the Society for Nutrition Education, Portland, OR, July 16-20, 1994., A successful statewide nutrition education model has been developed with the mission to endorse and support efforts to improve the ability of Montanans to improve nutritional health. The objectives include: 1) develop an identity and logo for Eat Right Montana, 2) select yearly nutrition education themes, and 3) coordinate and provide resources for yearly themes and education campaigns. Members of the coalition form a broad base of food and nutrition interests, such as Extension Service, Public Health Nutrition, Beef Council, Food Distributors Association, School Food Service, University Dietetic Students, and the State Dietetic Association. The Coalition has been highly successful in identifying and promoting the Coalition and its yearly educational themes among many food and nutrition agencies throughout the state. For example, the first year's theme "Five A Day' has been successfully promoted at the state legislature, in schools, and with Extension audiences. The evaluation of the program indicates that the coalition is a successful model for striving for the Health [People] 2000 objectives.

search through journal, This study examined the daily influences that affected the behavior of agricultural communications personnel as professional communicators. If focused on the conditions that the employees perceived as influencing their behavior and how these phenomena related to the total communications process of the department. The researcher used Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method of qualitative research. The findings of this study suggest that changing organizational needs are affecting the professional behavior of communications personnel. The relationship between agricultural communications departments and their clientele, both internal and external, is changing because of budget-slashing priorities common throughout institutions of higher education.
