It is now a decade since Ethiopia started implementing a policy of
poverty reduction and eradication. The government's poverty
reduction and eradication program stresses the strategic importance
of agriculture. The sector, however, is in the hands of millions of
peasant producers who depend on traditional methods of cultivation
of crops with limited use of green revolution technologies, such as
chemical fertilizers.The current package-based agricultural
extension service, like its predecessors, uses 'model' farmers to
disseminate improved technologies. This group of farmers, because
of their entrepreneurial qualities, is expected to positively
influence other farmers to adopt improved farming technologies.
This research focuses on the entrepreneurial experiences of 'model'
farmers in the context of the current agricultural extension
package program and their contribution to Ethiopia's poverty
reduction efforts by taking the Bure Zuria woreda of the Amhara
regional state as case study.
