Esta libro es parte del Kit de Aprendizaje del Nuevo Extensionista (New Extensionist Learning Kit NELK) desarrolado por GFARS. En esta segunda unidad el libro comenta los métodos y herramientas de extensión. Describe la extensión en el sector público, la extensión como ciencia, la extensión como una profesión. En la segunda parte describe con mas detalles las herramientas de extensión, habla de su evolución, de los modelos SPI/E y SIA, trata de las reformas en la extensión y como lograr éxito en ellas
Este libro hace parte del Kit de Aprendizaje del Nuevo Extensionista (New Extensionist Learning Kit NELK) desarrolado por GFARS. Este módulo ha sido diseñado para introducir a los extensionistas con los términos y conceptos clave requeridos para entender la administración y gestión del programa de extensión agrícola y para comenzar a construir conocimientos, destrezas y actitudes que se requieren para gestionar la extensión de una manera efectiva.

Extension and advisory services (EAS) perform an important role in agricultural development and help reduce hunger and poverty. Development efforts are increasingly complicated because of challenges such as natural resource depletion and climate change. Agricultural development frameworks have moved from a linear to a more complex systems perspective. Many scholars today use the agricultural innovation systems (AIS) framework as a conceptual model.
Development is the process of change and facilitation helps in accelerating this process through the change agents‘ or the extension service provider. While working with farmers, agri-traders and processors, facilitation refers to promote group learning, building consensus and enhancing participation in collective actions. A facilitator has multidimensional roles to play.
The Worldwide Extension Study provides empirical data on the human and financial resources of agricultural extension and advisory systems worldwide, as well as other important information on: the primary extension service providers in each country (e.g.: public, private and/or non-governmental); which types and groups of farmers are the primary target groups (e.g.: large, medium, and/or small-scale farmers, including rural women) for each extension organization; how each organization’s resources are allocated to key extension and advisory service functions; each organization’s information a
There is plenty of information available in the public domain that covers various aspects of extension and know-how about new methodologies for implementation. However this information is often scattered and presented in complex academic language. Hence practitioners, who often have very limited time and/or may only have basic formal education, find it difficult to make use of this information. The Global Good Practices Initiative aims to bridge this gap by providing information about extension approaches and methods in easy-to-understand formats.
Grown in Jamaica since the days of slavery, food yams are major staples in local diets and a significant non-traditional export crop. The cultivation system used today is the same as 300 years ago, with alleged unsustainable practices. A new cultivation system called minisett was introduced in 1985 but the adoption rate twenty four years later is extremely low.
Given the search for new solutions to better prepare cities for the future, in recent years, urban agriculture (UA) has gained in relevance. Within the context of UA, innovative organizational and technical approaches are generated and tested. They can be understood as novelties that begin a potential innovation process. This empirical study is based on 17 qualitative interviews in the U.S. (NYC; Philadelphia, PA, USA; Chicago, IL, USA).
