Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soviet Union occupied her southern neighbor Afghanistan on Thursday, December 27, 1979. Soon after the occupation, significant impacts were felt on agriculture and other sectors of the economy. Agricultural extension, as the main department within the Ministry of Agriculture, was severely affected in terms of programs, organizations, personnel, budget, methods, relations with farmers, and transfer of improved technologies. This book provides the background of the neglect on the agricultural extension system and the adverse affects it had on the integrity of the agricultural system and the eventual lead-up to heavy poppy cultivation. The book proposes detailed planning for outlining the needs of the extension system. The analysis of the extension system presents a design on how best to rebuild new systems and restore traditional systems. This book highlights agricultural extension systems which should be revisited and implemented as a means towards rehabilitation of the current extension system and economy by inserting modern concepts of agricultural extension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, Agricultural Extension Worldwide presents an international perspective on agricultural extension and highlights extension as an integral function of agricultural development. Agricultural extension is one of the largest nonformal problem-solving educational systems in the world. It is generally concerned with transferring knowledge and research to farmers but may include services to other target audiences such as farm families and rural youth, as well as serve for developing rural community resources. In sixteen chapters, various major systems of extension are discussed along with factors that make for their success or failure, including the linkages required and the policy and financial supports necessary to make them effective. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of agricultural economics, agricultural policy and agriculture in general.

Download or read book Agricultural extension in Central Asia existing strategies and future needs written by Kazbekov, Jusipbek and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2011-12-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is at the forefront of the development objectives of the republics of Central Asia (CA). Since independence in 1991, these countries have undergone transitions from being centrally planned economies to market-oriented systems, which did not include the creation of agricultural extension systems. This paper provides information on the current status of the agricultural extension systems in CA with special reference to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. We reviewed the existing extension strategies, donor- and state-driven initiatives to revitalize the agricultural extension systems, informal linkages that nongovernmental organizations play in helping a limited number of farmers, and provided recommendations on ways to further improve the agricultural extension services in CA. The information related to each country was analyzed separately. This is because, after independence, each republic in CA had initiated their agricultural reforms with specific objectives and has now established their unique agricultural systems that differ contextually. However, due to having the same history and agricultural system that existed during the Soviet times, we tried to give a historical perspective to the unified agricultural extension system that existed before independence.

This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report shares an analysis of the effects of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the agri-food system in Afghanistan. It analyses the results of a field assessment conducted between 7 and 26 February 2021. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is implementing a project to contribute to data collection and analysis linked to COVID-19 to inform evidence-based programming in selected countries. The objective is to assess the effects of COVID-19 in the agri-food system, which includes crops, livestock and fishing, food supply, livelihoods, and food security of the rural population at the national level. Information is collected from primary sources of the production process: producer households, traders or marketers, inputs suppliers, extension officers, and key informants. A first-round of data collection was conducted in 2020, followed by a first report published in March 2021. A third-round is planned before the end of 2021.

This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from decades of war in 2002, Afghanistan and its rich agricultural history were in need of urgent repair and reinvigoration. Since that time, FAO has been operating in the country to rehabiliate irrigation infrastructure, build new dairy and wheat seed industries, improve livestock health, help smallholders diversify their crops and add higher-value products, halt deforestation and help the country adapt to climate change. This report presents highlights from the work carried out over the past 15 years, featuring stories and testimonials from satisfied FAO beneficiairies. It is organized to reflect the priorities that the Government of Afghanistan has outlined in its current agricultural development plan, while also showing how FAO's work cuts across many sectors of agriculture. The report demonstrates that, despite some setbacks, FAO has brought increased prosperity, sustainability and self-reliance to the farmers, pastoralists and farm product processors of Afghanistan.

Download or read book Analyzing the Opportunities and Pitfalls of Participation in International Agricultural and Environmental Development written by Kimberly Castelin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participation in development by those most affected by programs is increasingly encouraged by donor agencies; however, true participation often remains elusive and misunderstood in practice. This dissertation presents three manuscripts that apply different disciplinary lenses to the concept of participation. The first manuscript analyzes two cases using participation in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems as a means to explain differences in project outcomes that aim to alter social ecological systems. The manuscript introduces a participatory matrix as a simple tool to assess participation in a project's M&E system. The cases relate participation in M&E to improved program outcomes including resource health, sustained livelihoods, and robust social structures. The second manuscript applies new institutional economic theory to the phenomenon of the decline of traditional irrigation systems, karez, as communities adopt pump wells. The study uses records on ecological, institutional, economic, and social factors from Iran and Pakistan spanning the 1950's through 2016, to analyze factors influencing displacement of karez. Evidence suggests that in the areas studied, alterations to institutions governing water and land left small-scale producers worse off, while benefitting large-scale producers. The third manuscript analyzes empirical data from the Afghanistan Agricultural Extension Program (AAEP). Program investment in capacity building activities for Farmer Field School (FFS) facilitators was significant yet use of the FFS approach in Afghanistan's extension system remained lower than expected. Quantitative data show a significant and positive effect of capacity building training on Farmer Field School facilitator use of FFS. Qualitative data give voice to extension worker and trained FFS facilitator explanations of FFS use by individuals highlighting both motivators and barriers.
