Some of the problems found nowadays in the research and extension organizations in Brazil are the lack of effective interactions and communication between agricultural scientists and extension workers, and how extension workers utilize research publications to communicate agricultural information to Brazilian farmers. The main objectives of this research project, then, are: (1) to describe and explore the present situations concerning research and extension linkages or interactions in a worldwide basis and specifically in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil; (2) to identify factors that affect research-extension linkages; (3) to define possible measures leading to an improvement of system's communication linkages regarding its effectiveness toward the clientele (farmers); (4) to analyze the use of research publications by extension agents, factors affecting it and find out measures to improve them. Particularly, the study tries to answer among others, the following questions: How often are the contacts between agents and researchers? Do extension agents have a say in the planning of research priorities? Do extension agents look for the researchers advice on technical matters? Do agents who live close to experiment stations maintain...

The research was conducted between December 2002 and October 2003. Fourteen researchers working for EMBRAPA - National Soybean Research Center and IAPAR - Agriculture Institute of Parana, in Londrina, Brazil, answered a questionnaire. Researchers were asked to report on their own experiences (first two sections of the questionnaire) and to respond as speakers for the Brazilian scientific community within the field of agriculture (third section of the questionnaire). I obtained complementary information from informal interviews with other researchers and from EMBRAPA and IAPAR websites. My research questions were: (1) to what extent do organizational features and demands influence the writing and publishing of scientific articles in English by Brazilian agricultural researchers working in governmental organizations; (2) to what extent do language and cultural barriers limit the production of scientific articles in English by these agricultural researchers; (3) to what extent do researchers feel that international journal, editors, and reviewers discriminate against developing countries' scientific production and scientists. The goals of my research were (1) to obtain a preliminary understanding of the rhetorical context of scientific publications in governmental agricultural research organizations in Brazil and (2) to recommend actions and suggest further research topics. The main results of this study were: (1) organizational demands influence the amount of time researchers allow for publishing articles in English; (2) language barriers are due to little or no training in scientific writing both in Portuguese and in English and to a lack of knowledge of the rhetorical demands and expectations of the target language and target journals; (3) the degree to which researchers perceive discrimination by editors and reviewers of international journals varies according to discipline, country of graduate studies, and gender. My recommendations involve: (1) action and professional communication research at the organizational level; (2) professional communication research at the high school and university levels; (3) theoretical and applied research in L2 scientific writing in governmental agricultural organizations in Brazil; (4) a proposal for training in scientific writing in EMBRAPA and IAPAR.

Rainforests are rapidly being cleared in the humid tropics to keep pace with food demands, economic needs, and population growth. Without proper management, these forests and other natural resources will be seriously depleted within the next 50 years. Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment in the Humid Tropics provides critically needed direction for developing strategies that both mitigate land degradation, deforestation, and biological resource losses and help the economic status of tropical countries through promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. The book includes: A practical discussion of 12 major land use options for boosting food production and enhancing local economies while protecting the natural resource base. Recommendations for developing technologies needed for sustainable agriculture. A strategy for changing policies that discourage conserving and managing natural resources and biodiversity. Detailed reports on agriculture and deforestation in seven tropical countries.
