Knowledge Driven Development: Private Extension and Global Lessons
uses actual cases written specifically to study the role and
capacity of private companies in knowledge sharing and
intensification through agricultural extension. Descriptions of
specific models and approaches are teased out of complex situations
exhibiting a range of agricultural, regulatory, socio-economic
variables. Illustrative cases focus on a particular agricultural
value chain and elaborate the special feature of the associated
private extension system. Chapters presenting individual cases of
private extension also highlight specific areas of variations and
significant deviance. Each chapter begins with a section describing
the background and agricultural context of the case, followed by a
description of the specific crop value chain. Based on
understanding of this context, extension models and methods by
private companies receive deeper analysis and definition in the
next section. This leads to a discussion of the private extension
with respect to its relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, equity,
sustainability and impact. Following that, comparison with public
extension, the uniqueness of the knowledge intensification model,
and lessons for its replication and scaling up are elaborated. The
final chapter summarizes the major results from the ten cases
presented, looking at the trends, commonalities and differences of
various extension approaches and the general lessons for success or
failure. It concludes with a set of messages around value creation,
integrated services, market links, inclusive innovation, and
capacity development.
