Hello,

I am Principal Scientist (Agricultural Extension), working with Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

I consider this discussion interesting, important and exciting because it gives an opportunity to scientists to speak up, who often feel that there is a disconnect between work they are doing and policies being framed, decision being made. Work goes on in laboratories, often have no relevance to field applications due to poor linkages between research systems & consumers.

Looking forward to hearing experiences coming form diverse situations from across the world!

Happy & exciting discussion!
