Transforming a centrally planned system of agricultural production to one where individual farmers are accorded choice in crop mix and land use management practices is much more than a structural change. Embedded within this process is a fundamental shift in how knowledge is generated, disseminated and adopted. Upon dissolution of the Soviet Union, one immediate priority was the privatization of state farms and thereby relaxation of policies for collective production.
Face à la dégradation des ressources naturelles liée à la surexploitation, à la croissance démographique et au changement climatique, les services nationaux de vulgarisation en Tunisie nécessitent une révision de leurs priorités et une réforme de leurs modes de prestation de services.

Les faibles taux d’adoption sont typiques pour de nombreuses technologies approuvées dans les pays en voie de développement.
