The effectiveness of an extension service relies on the knowledge and communication skills of the field staff who lead discussions with farmers in order to help them identify their own problems and train them in the available solutions. Communication in extension plays an important role in technology transfer, however, many field extension workers are poorly trained in this particular area and also in the development of educational materials. This publication was prepared as a teaching and learning guide for all those working in rural communities. It can be considered as an 'extension methodology tool-box' to train extension field staff in their work at the village level.

This important book is the re-titled third edition of the extremely well received and widely used Agricultural Extension (van den Ban & Hawkins, 1988, 1996). Building on the previous editions, Communication for Rural Innovation maintains and adapts the insights and conceptual models of value today, while reflecting many new ideas, angles and modes of thinking concerning how agricultural extension is taught and carried through today. Since the previous edition of the book, the number and type of organisations that apply communicative strategies to foster change and development in agriculture and resource management has become much more varied and this book is aimed at those who use communication to facilitate change in agriculture and resource management. Communication for Rural Innovation is essential reading for process facilitators, communication division personnel, knowledge managers, training officers, consultants, policy makers, extension specialists and managers of agricultural extension or research organisations. The book can also be used as an advanced introduction into issues of communicative intervention at BSc or MSc level.
