Summary of the topic

You
have learned that extension facilitates the empowerment of farmers through
their organizations, by allowing more local resources to be mobilized and helping
in the efficient utilization of resources on a sustainable basis. Extension has
becoming increasingly demanding, location-specific and flexible, and often the need
for quick decisions which calls for extension reforms. In this regard the main
direction of reform extension service is towards decentralization of services
with the firm belief that the services should be closer to the client at grass
root level, so that it becomes more
relevant.
