Agricultural Extension and Rural Development: Breaking Out of Traditions. - Review - book review

Organization Studies,  Sept, 2000  

2000, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 239 pages.

Agricultural Extension and Rural Development -- Breaking Out of Traditions examines the broad theme of knowledge transfer and the conduct of research and development from a second-order systems perspective, based on the situation in the rangelands of Australia. In Australia, the need to adopt to new ways of agricultural extension was felt by both the farming community as well as by the research funding bodies that were dissatisfied with their return on investment. The authors investigate how the relationships between the rural community and researchers might be managed more effectively. As a result of their discussion, they also indicate the relevance of applying the findings in a wider context.
