Rural development and Agricultural Extension

The Rural Development refers to the process of improving the quality of life and economic wellbeing of people living in rural areas. Extension is an non-formal educational process directed toward the rural population. This process offers advice and information to help them solve their problems. Extension also aims to increase the efficiency of the family farm, increase production and generally increase the standard of living of the farm family. Agriculture is the basis of the livelihood of most rural families, Most of these people are also still very poor and dependent on agricultural practices that have benefited little from modern technology. Agriculture's important role is one of production, both of food for the rural and the urban population and of cash crops for the export market, to earn foreign currency.
