Across
- 2. the innovation system has been increasingly used to understand the process of knowledge generation and use in agriculture but was originally developed for this type of innovation
- 4. helps bridge knowledge–practice–policy gaps through a shared understanding of the role of different actors
- 6. factor referring to differences in the diversity of farming conditions and production systems
- 8. factor that discusses to the condition of transport, communication, and market facilities
- 9. a system made of individuals and organizations that demand and supply knowledge, as well as the policies and mechanisms that affect the way different agents interact
- 12. technology that produces new plant and animal varieties with higher yields or resistance to pests or diseases
- 13. concerned with process, particularly that of communication and knowledge delivery services to people in the rural sector
- 14. this percentage of smallholder farmers influences the type of technology to be transferred, particularly if the government is concerned with equitable coverage of all farmers
- 16. organizations that offer an effective channel for extension contact with large numbers of farmers and opportunities for participatory interaction
- 18. the dominant characteristic of the context of agricultural extension operating in an environment that influence the organization, form, and content of transfer activities
- 19. extension as part of a wider canvas of actors, processes, institutions, and policies that are critical for innovation
- 20. its principal areas of influence are price signals to farmers and decisions by government that affect public agricultural development organizations
Down
- 1. factor that encompasses illiteracy, language differences, and division of labor between the sexes
- 3. number of elements required for diagnosing innovation capacity
- 5. organizations wherein farmer coverage is more limited and input transfer may play a bigger role
- 7. extension and advisory services could better contribute to the process of innovation if they would expand this kind of technology transfer role by including more functions
- 8. requires enabling a combination of technological, organizational, institutional, and policy change
- 10. context that includes technology generation and technology transfer
- 11. innovation which involves connecting farmers to service providers and other actors in the agricultural food chain
- 15. if appropriate technology is available but is not used by farmers, then the way this is handled by government may be part of the problem
- 17. extension's closest institutional partners in technology generation and transfer
