About The Book

Many agricultural technology systems in India fail to make sufficient and relevant technologies available to farmers due to poor linkage between research and technology transfer components. The weakness of this system is that it does not involve farmers in identifying the constraints and adopting the research to local conditions. <BR> Farmers participation in transfer of agricultural technology is regarded as an important tool for successful sustainable agricultural development. On the other hand extension system across the world is exposed to participatory approaches. Hence, the extension professionals should get adequate knowledge about participatory approaches for transfer of agricultural technology to the farming community. For this purpose, an initiative was taken to document the views of the various authors related to participatory approaches for transfer of agricultural technology. The topics like Technology, Transfer and Adoption, Extension approaches for transfer of technology, Participatory Rural Appraisal: Concepts, Methodologies and Techniques, Indigenous Technological Knowledge, Farmer-Led Extension Approaches, Market Led Agricultural Extension, Participatory training methods, Innovative extension Methods, Farmer Field Schools, public-private partnership, Women Participation in Agricultural Development, Youth Participation in Agricultural & Rural Development, women empowerment through SHGs, etc. are included in this book.
