Resumen
Descripción
The report summarized the proceedings of consultation session on “The integrated extension approach and Aquaculture extension experiences and gave the findings and recommendations of the three working groups on integration of aquaculture into agriculture extension services, delivery mechanisms: the role and use of farmer to farmer and institutional extension mechanisms in aquaculture development and aquaculture research-extension linkages. Extended abstracts of 15 papers presented during the con sultation are reproduced. Participants agreed that aquaculture should become part of the agriculture extension and that it was necessary for the agriculture extension service to undergo an important conceptual change in set-up and approach, putting much more emphasis on assisting farmers in the process of problem solving and decision making. The monitoring and evaluation of the service should be carried out in participation with the farming community and farmers, field extension workers, supervi sors and researchers should operate on a basis of equal footing.
