Re-thinking agriculture and extension education
Agricultural educators – whether extension agents from public or private sector, university professors, school teachers or farmers themselves – need to become agents of change. They need to support farmers in the task of reconnecting to the agro-ecosystems that they manage, rather than becoming increasingly disconnected from them. This issue shows a range of experiences in East Africa and beyond that set examples that may be amenable to replication.
