Sharing knowledge

Export citation

Agricultural and rural advisory services and other community facilitators are the link between researchers and farmers. Advisory services can help transfer knowledge to and from farmers and researchers. There can be many channels of communications between them. For example, by gathering in farmers’ groups to learn together, establishing tree nurseries or forming innovation platforms for adding value and better marketing of products. This chapter discusses some of the ways to learn together and spread knowledge, and advisors’ role in them.
