Scope and need for agricultural extension

The scope of agricultural extension covers the delivery of knowledge, technology and services to farmers and rural communities to enhance productivity, sustainability and livelihoods. Understanding why extension is needed – to bridge the gap between research and practice, to promote adoption of innovations, and to address socio‑economic challenges – is essential for any exam on agricultural extension.
