 EXTENSION APPROACHES
 Commodity Approach
Promotes the production of a
certain important crop by
emphasizing the available
production factors such as the
ff: (a) use of improved varieties,
(b) better farm inputs, (c)
different cultural methods, etc.
 Transfer of Technology Approach
Solutions have normally been
developed at research stations.
Results will be translated as
messages to farmers via
extension worker, who is the
farms.
 Farming System Approach
Improvement of TOT approach
Identifies farm level constraints
to technology adoption.
Encourages the direct
communication of researcher,
farmers, and development
workers.
 Participatory Technology Development
Main aim of PTD is enhancing
the local capacity to analyze
ongoing processes and to
develop relevant and feasible
technological innovations suited
to the local condition.
 AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND COMMUNICATION
 Area Approach
Aims to improve the whole area
Efforts are often made to have a
whole village/community grow
just one variety of crop that is
best adapted to the locality.
Aims to produce a volume for
the market to attract better
prices.
 Participatory Extension Approach
Farmers are involved in the
whole process of decision-
making;
1. Farm data collection
and analysis
2. Identifications of
problems, constraints
and opportunities.
3. Preparation of
improvement plans to
implementation
4. Monitoring and
evaluation.
 Farmer’s Field School
Refers to the experiential
learning approach where the
farmer’s field is the primary
learning resource in carrying out
an intensive training on
integrated pest management
throughout the entire growing
season of the crop.
Trains farmers to become IPM
experts in their own fields.
 General Approach or General
Agricultural Extension
Its program planning is
controlled by the government
and changes priority from time
to time.
Its program planning is made on
a national basis with some
freedom for local adaptation.
 Project Approach
An extension approach with a
basic assumption that better
results can be achieved in a
particular location.
An EA where a project is
implemented in a certain area
and the planning is controlled by
the outsiders, the donor agency
and the government.
 Training and Visit Approach
Has been devised in order to
bring about agricultural
development through the
involvement of responsible
farmers
Premised on the theory that
peer influence is effective in
disseminating new
technologies.
