Fishing Technologies from FIGIS Fish capture technology encompasses the process of catching any aquatic animal, using any kind of fishing methods including artisanal fisheries, normally operated from a vessel. Horticulture Cultivars Performance Database (HORTIVAR) Hortivar is FAO \'s database on performances of horticulture cultivars in relation to agro-ecological conditions, cultivation practices, the occurrence of pests and diseases and timing of the production. It covers six categories of horticultural crops: fruits, vegetables, roots and tubers, ornamentals, mushrooms, herbs and condiments. Information Network on Pos-Harvest Operations (INPhO) Its main objective is to increase the development of activities of the global post- harvest sector for tropical agricultural products for a better access to technical data and an exchange of information among the different post harvest actors. &#160;&#160;TOP Livestock, Environment and Development Initiative (LEAD) The Livestock, Environment and Development Initiative (LEAD) targets the protection and enhancement of natural resources which are affected by livestock production and processing and also focuses on poverty reduction and public health enhancement through appropriate forms of livestock development. Technology for Agriculture (TECA) It is an FAO initiative that aims at improving access to information and knowledge about available proven technologies in order to enhance their adoption in agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry thus contributing to food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

AGRIS Central Database The AGRIS central database accessible from the AGRIS website provides member countries with a mechanism for online publishing. It offers a unique visibility tool for both published and grey literature in agricultural sciences and technology and facilitates centres to publish online that don \'t have that capacity. This is one of the main activities of the AGRIS network ant it became operational in 1975. Ask FAO AskFAO is a service driven by user information needs, providing answers to queries related to the FAO \'s areas of expertise. Working with FAO experts, offices around the world as well as with partner organizations, it provides a mechanism to communicate directly with technical experts in a particular field of interest Glossary of Biotechnology for Food and Agriculture The glossary is a revised, augmented version of the Glossary of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, published by FAO in 1999. In 2001, the process of revising the Glossary was undertaken to update the definitions of this rapidly evolving field and to enrich the number of terms defined. It now includes about 450 new terms, about 100 old terms have been deleted and it contains a total of 3,196 terms and related definitions. Available in English, French, Spanish and Arabic. Capacity Development for Water in Agriculture database It provides information on activities that cover the typically applied instruments used in the process of training the stakeholders involved in irrigated agriculture management. It aims at creating a meeting point for both people in search of capacity development opportunities and those offering these opportunities.

Montpellier, France, 5-7 MAY 2004; &#160; Agricultural extension for sustainable development &#160;&#160;A major challenge of the 21st century will be that of implementing sustainable development and meeting the food needs of an increasing world population. Technical experts from a range of disciplines have analysed the links between population and food and one of the conclusions reached is that, in view of the limited scope and high economic and environmental costs of expanding crop land, 80 percent of food production increases will have to come from increased yields on lands already in production. &#160; Modernizing national agricultural extension systems: A practical guide for policy-makers of developing countries &#160;&#160;Agricultural extension is taking on new dimensions because of a global movement for reforming the national extension systems in developing countries. New learning needs of farming communities are emerging as the world enters into an era of globalization, privatization, decentralization and market-liberalization, while the traditional public extension services have not yet transformed in order to meet those needs satisfactorily. This publication addresses an increasing demand for practical, action-oriented guidelines which policy-makers could use in reforming extension systems. &#160; International Conference on Transforming Agriculture Extension in Africa &#160;&#160;This international conference held in Accra, Ghana focussed on exchanging experiences in the fields of \'Extension and Poverty Reduction \', Decentralization, and Public-Private Partnership in Agricultural Extension Delivery and Rural Development. &#160; Global trends in agricultural extension: challenges facing Asia and the Pacific region &#160;&#160;Global trends in agricultural extension: challenges facing Asia and the Pacific region was the Keynote paper presented at the FAO Regional Expert Consultation on Agricultural Extension, Research-Extension-Farmer Interface and Technology Transfer, held in Bangkok, 16-19 July 2002. Common Framework on Agricultural Extension &#160;&#160;Through a series of case studies and joint reflections, this informal Neuch&#226;tel Initiative is helping to bring a measure of convergence to thinking on the objectives, methods and means of support for agricultural extension. The different members of the Neuch&#226;tel Initiative have contributed to this framework in order to establish a basis for better applying these ideas in extension practice. &#160;&#160;TOP &#160; IPTRID Knowledge Synthesis Report No. 2: Review on research and development needs in irrigation and drainage &#160;&#160;This publication concerns the activity undertaken within the framework of the Word Bank \'s initiative on Institutional Reform in Irrigation and Drainage.

It discusses the role of research and technology dissemination and adoption as key elements that need to be incorporated into a long-term, sustainable, strategy for the agricultural development of Africa. Finally, the last section highlights the main components that require more short-term, immediate actions and investments to avert food insecurity in Africa. &#160; Improving agricultural extension: A reference manual &#160;&#160;Current trends and perspectives were used in preparing this manual. In the view of the editors, agricultural research and extension must become more demand driven if these institutions are to maintain or regain the public trust and to compete effectively for public funds. &#160; Agricultural extension, rural development and the food security challenge &#160;(HTML) &#160;&#160;The purpose of this publication is to highlight the important role of agricultural and rural extension in the fight against hunger. &#160; PDF &#160; Innovations in agricultural extension in India &#160;&#160;The purpose of this study is primarily to review and analyze the national policy and strategy of the public extension system, the on-going programmes and the various approaches to provide farming communities with necessary assistance. &#160; A new extension vision for food security a new extension vision for food security: Challenge to change &#160;&#160;This publication addresses the challenges faced by agricultural extension services in their provision of support to food security initiatives. Common Framework for Supporting Pro&#45;Poor Extension &#160;&#160;In order to design extension policies and strategies that reach the poor in the development context of the 21st Century it is important to transcend the assumption that extension policy is a matter of a simple choice between traditional public sector service provision and full&#45;scale privatisation. Neuch&#226;tel Initiative. Demand-driven Agricultural Advisory Services &#160;&#160; \'Demand \' is defined as what people ask for, need and value so much that they are willing to invest their resources, such as time and money, in order to receive the services. &#160; Case studies on demand-driven services &#160;&#160;Word documents and powerpoint presentations of case studies on demand-driven services presented at the Annual Meeting 2004 of the Neuchatel Initiative in Aarhus, Denmark.

While it is possible that the decentralization of public-sector services can allow extension to be more responsive to the needs of local farmers, and especially small-scale farmers, major questions remain. &#160; Social dimensions of integrated production and pest management &#160;&#160;While most studies focus on the economic impact or yield increases resulting from integrated pest management, this report highlights the participatory nature of the farmer field schools and the social impacts of farmers and extensionists working side by side. &#160; &#160;&#160; -- &#160;&#160;TOP &#160; Biotechnology Policy Documents of FAO Members &#160;&#160;This webpage of the FAO Biotechnology website brings together biotechnology policy documents from FAO members.

SEC makes extension planning purposeful, systematic from the bottom upwards and participatory. Using the knowledge, attitude and practice survey, the SEC functionally links extension with research and the local media. &#160; Empowering extension managers through participatory learning &#160;&#160;The article is based on case study research method conducted on the experiential methodology followed by the Indian National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management. &#160; Participatory Development: Guidelines on Beneficiary Participation in Agricultural and Rural Development &#160;&#160;The Guidelines are a first attempt to present a manual from which relevant pragmatic indications can be taken to render forthcoming and existing conventional projects (more) participatory. This means firstly that the projects are to the largest possible extent oriented towards the rural poor, and secondly that they include provisions for the formation of self-run beneficiary groups. As explained later, these two essential features do not substitute for but are expected to complement conventional development approaches and efforts. &#160; Participatory action research and people \'s participation: Introduction and case studies &#160;&#160;This essay deals with the practical implications of participatory action research as a means to enhance people \'s participation in development on their own behalf. It is a result of about 20 years of experience with all kinds of grassroots organizations in different areas in the Third World, but particularly with projects of FAO \'s People \'s Participation Programme (PPP) since 1981. &#160; Research Methodologies in Organic Farming: On-Farm Participatory Research &#160;&#160;A common thread throughout many of the discussions, was the recognition that not enough research is oriented to benefit the farmer; this is not necessarily due to the classical division of basic and applied research, but more so due to the research topic selection and the lack of proper integration of farmer knowledge and participation. &#160; Extension, research and farm competitiveness in Central and Eastern Europe, Part 1 &#160;&#160;Achievement of international levels of agricultural productivity, quality, efficiency and profitability presents a difficult challenge for the Central and Eastern European countries, particularly those where average farm size is small. Shortage of money to pay for necessary inputs and for renewal and maintenance of equipment and buildings is still the main barrier to progress. However the generation of new knowledge, methods and materials through research, and effective delivery of technical knowledge and business advice to farmers through extension, are also key factors for success. &#160; Extension, research and farm competitiveness in Central and Eastern Europe, Part 2 &#160;&#160;Extension is part of the adult educational process. In the context of this paper extension services are considered as those organisations and individuals that provide information, advice and/or consultancy services to farmers and their families, including horticultural crop producers, on matters related to production from rural areas. Although the main consideration is extension for agricultural production, it is recognised that extension services should include forestry and socio-economic activities. &#160; Developing producer groups and rural organizations in Central and Eastern Europe - Issues and challenges &#160;&#160;This paper reviews recent studies and proceedings completed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and others, in relation to recent agricultural reform and rural development policies across the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in particular it explores the role of producer groups and rural Organizations. Guide for Monitoring, Evaluation and Joint Analyses of Pluralistic Extension Support &#160;&#160;Extension reforms need to be firmly grounded in a sound analysis of issues relevant to a particular context. This guide provides a framework of such issues as a basis for monitoring, evaluation and analytical discussions to improve support to agricultural extension.Neuch&#226;tel Initiative. &#160; An extension strategy for educating farmers in population and environment issues within the context of farming &#160;&#160;One of the main technical challenges faced by agricultural extension workers is how to sell extension advice on population and environment to the farmers since these subjects are not agricultural per se. A strategy developed under a project in Egypt for this specific purpose could be helpful for extension services. &#160; Participatory environment education and training for sustainable agriculture &#160;&#160;This book describes FAO \'s pioneering approach in integrating environment education concerns into agricultural education and training programmes. It reports the process, achievements and lessons learned from the actual experiences in planning and implementing such programmes in eight agricultural education, training and extension organizations in six countries. &#160; Farmer field schools and the future of agricultural extension in Africa &#160;&#160;Recently, interest has begun to coalesce around the potentials offered by the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach. Included in this article is a brief look at some of the key elements in the FFS approach and its transfer to Africa. &#160; Innovations in agricultural extension in India &#160;&#160;The purpose of this study is primarily to review and analyze the national policy and strategy of the public extension system, the on-going programmes and the various approaches to provide farming communities with necessary assistance. &#160; Extension through womens \' community development groups: A case study of female extension assistants &#160;&#160;Male migration in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir region of Pakistan has resulted in crop farming and livestock raising and management becoming increasingly women \'s domain. &#160; Group-based extension programmes for natural resource conservation in Java &#160;&#160;As a system of education, agricultural extension in Indonesia is concerned not only with transferring technology, but with educating farmers to become development-oriented.

In other words: What do developing countries need to establish and maintain an Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) that targets agriculture  broadly conceived as crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry  as a main component of rural development (RD)? &#160; Strategic vision and guiding principles for Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems for Rural Development (AKIS/RD) 2000 &#160;&#160;An AKIS/RD is a system that links rural people and institutions to promote mutual learning and generate, share and utilize agriculture-related technology, knowledge and information. The system integrates farmers, agricultural educators, researchers and extensionists to harness knowledge and information from various sources for better farming and improved livelihoods. &#160; Integrating agricultural research, education and extension in developing countries &#160;&#160;Weak linkages among research, education and extension institutions result in systematic bottlenecks in national agricultural technology systems and can limit their effectiveness to contribute to development. Evidence shows that integrating research, education and extension can improve the overall performance of agricultural technology systems. &#160; Information, Communication and Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Agriculture in Lithuania &#160;&#160;In the context of a global effort to contribute to the improvement of Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems (AKIS), FAO had commissioned a number of studies on national AKIS in each of its five geographical regions.

Despite this regular interaction, the study has revealed that extension workers are not involved in HIV/AIDS work, as it does not fall within their mandate. Also the extension workers at present lack the knowledge and skills of addressing HIV/AIDS issues since it had long been perceived as a health matter.
