Agricultural Extension & Communication

Agricultural Extension and Communication are essential components of agricultural development and knowledge dissemination. They play a crucial role in bridging the gap between researchers, policymakers and farmers, ensuring that valuable information, technologies and best practices reach those engaged in agriculture.

Agricultural extension is a system that facilitates the transfer of agricultural knowledge, research findings and technologies from the research and development centers to the farmers and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector. The main goal of agricultural extension is to enhance agricultural productivity, improve farmers' income and promote sustainable practices. This is achieved through various extension services, advisory programs and training sessions that aim to educate and support farmers in adopting modern agricultural practices.

Agricultural communication focuses on the effective and efficient communication of agricultural information to various stakeholders, including farmers, policymakers, researchers and the general public. It involves utilizing various communication channels and tools to raise awareness, share knowledge and influence behavior related to agriculture and rural development.
