| Summary |
This briefing paper summarises the relevant recent and current research and development (R&D) on agricultural extension, learning and change. The paper was developed primarily through a review of publicly available literature published since 1997 on the topics of agricultural extension, facilitation of change processes and farmer learning. This paper reports on what research has been conducted in four key areas, as identified by the steering committee of the Joint Research and Development Corporation project: 1. Institutional change and organisational structures supporting learning and change; 2. The professional development of farm advisers including their structural arrangement and careers; 3. The facilitation of enhanced learning/change processes on farm; 4. Better understanding of the barriers to participation in learning opportunities. For each of these areas, the topics of relevant research, and the major findings, are reported, and gaps and weaknesses in the research are identified. [p.v] |
