INTRODUCTION / BACKGROUND

CONT.
An agricultural innovation may look good on paper,
but if its packaging and transmission to farmers is
faulty, it will not create the desired impact.
Communication of agricultural innovations using the
right packaging and teaching methods is very
necessary in effecting change and boosting
productivity.

CONT.
The extension methods employed by the extension
workers during the development of programmes
directly affect the effectiveness of their effort.

CONT.
• It will be counter- productive if the extension worker
uses or adopts the same methods to teach both youth
and adults.
• This is because:
• adult learners differ from the youth, in that, adults are
more experienced ,
• able to learn different things and more interested in
the immediate usefulness of knowledge gained.
