Neo-Extensionists: Catalysts for Progress in Modern Farming

Abstract

This abstract explores the transformative impact of neo-extensionism on modern agriculture in contemporary situation. Departing from traditional top-down approaches, neo-extensionists engage farmers in participatory learning, co-creating tailored solutions that integrate local wisdom with scientific innovations. This collaborative approach enhances technology adoption, fosters sustainable practices, empowers farmers and builds resilient agricultural systems. Challenges such as resource constraints and the need for ongoing training exist, but the potential for digital tools and platforms offers promising avenues for further growth. The evolving role of neo-extensionists signifies a fundamental shift towards farmer-centered, knowledge-intensive and ecologically mindful farming practices, with implications for global food systems.
