Glossary

Agricultural extension uses a number of different terms to describe specific concepts and approaches.  Also, because there are different schools of thought about how agricultural extension systems should be organized and function, these different points of view can lead to interesting debates.  It is important to agree on the key functions, programs, and tasks that need to be carried out to achieve specific development objectives. Then, it will be much more straightforward to determine which organization(s) has a comparative advantage in carrying out specific programs, as well as how these activities should be organized and implemented.
