MEAS
There is often a critical gap between knowing what could be helpful and then making that information known so that it can be put into practice. Filling that gap is the specialty of an organization called Modernizing Extension and Advisory Services (MEAS; www.meas-extension.org/).

Their publications are relevant to those looking for the best ways to transfer knowledge and skills to farmers coping with various challenges.
