Extension officers and advisory staff learn how to plan farm visits, run effective demonstrations, and transfer new agricultural technologies to farmers using participatory, evidence-based extension methods.
Extension services remain the primary bridge between agricultural research and the farmers who must apply it, yet many advisory systems still rely on outdated, one-way communication methods that fail to change behavior. This five-day course equips extension officers, advisory staff, and agribusiness field teams with modern approaches to farmer advisory work: participatory needs assessment, demonstration plot design, farmer field schools, and digital extension tools that extend reach beyond in-person visits. Participants examine how successful extension systems in the region combine technical knowledge with adult-learning principles to drive real adoption of new practices.
Sessions combine case studies from crop and livestock extension programs with practical planning exercises, including designing a season-long extension calendar and a farmer field school curriculum. Participants leave able to plan more effective farm visits, measure adoption of recommended practices, and use limited resources to reach more farmers with advice that actually changes outcomes.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Understanding Farming Communities and Extension Needs
Day 2: Adult Learning and Farmer Training Delivery
Day 3: Demonstration Plots and Farmer Field Schools
Day 4: Digital Extension Tools and Technology Transfer
Day 5: Extension Work Planning, Adoption Measurement, and Reporting
Agricultural Extension Services Training addresses the people who carry research findings from station to shamba and bring farmer realities back the other way.
Participants who complete the five days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming they can plan participatory needs assessments, run demonstration plots and farmer field schools, and track farmer adoption of recommended agricultural practices.
