Abstract:

This article presents an in-depth discussion of the different aspects of technology and innovation in agricultural extension, i.e., how they affect the productivity of smallholder farmers, the adoption of improved practices, and livelihoods overall. It discusses using digital extension services, mobile-based advisory services, artificial intelligence, and social networks to disseminate agricultural innovations. Furthermore, it assesses those factors that influence farmers' sharing of climate-resilient agriculture practices, the economic empowerment of women farmers through agricultural extensi

Abstract:

Productivity in agricultural is also important for spurring economic growth in other sectors. Farmers live in remote rural areas and make up 75% of the world’s poor. In Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA), productivity in agriculture lags behind globally, and is below the required standards of achieving food security, poverty goals and food sufficiency. As an important sector in the Kenyan economy, agriculture continues to dominate other sectors despite its declining contribution to real GDP. The development in agriculture is that one which revolutionizes the industry by bringing forth profitable agricult

Abstract:

One of the key links in the system of knowledge and information transfer in Serbian agriculture is the extension service, which acts as a mediator between scientific institutions and different user groups. Extension officers prefer to cooperate with already formed user groups, such as agricultural cooperatives, because they unite farmers with similar production and are convenient for group methods of extension work. This paper aims to examine the quality of cooperation between agricultural extension services and agricultural cooperatives in Serbia and to evaluate the views of farmers (cooperat

Abstract:

In an era where agriculture is facing unprecedented challenges, from climate change to increasing food demands, this paper aims to critically re-evaluate the current paradigms governing agricultural extension services. These services are instrumental in bridging the gap between agricultural research and practical farming, serving as a catalyst for the dissemination of knowledge, technology, and best practices among farmers. Recognizing their pivotal role in agricultural transformation, this paper offers a comprehensive evaluation of the role and effectiveness of agricultural extension services

The emerging trend for agricultural sector in the global market creates opportunities for smallholder farmers in the developing countries to benefit from such opportunities by linking their activities to value chains through vertical and horizontal linkages.

Participatory approaches in agricultural extension have revolutionized knowledge dissemination by fostering collaborative learning, farmer empowerment, and the co-creation of context-specific innovations. Unlike traditional top-down extension models, participatory methodologies emphasize mutual learning, where farmers, researchers, and extension agents engage in dynamic exchanges to develop adaptive and sustainable agricultural practices. These approaches have proven effective in promoting climate-smart agriculture, integrated pest management, soil and water conservation, and agroecological tr
