Event: Symposium on Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture (12/02/2019)

Session: Agriculture Extension agents often need to respond to a wide range of questions from farmers and other stake holders. This session will discuss the importance of respecting locally-developed technologies, but verifying them with scientific research before promoting them widely. Methods will be described for accessing scientific literature, “grey” (unpublished) literature, and for generating an evidence base at the local program level.
