How can Agricultural Extension System in Turkey be Sustainable?

Boyaci, Assoc. Dr. Murat

In the study, extension services were examined through interpretation of data collected up to 1104 public and contracted extension workers. Turkish extension system is influenced by general and training-visit approaches which were employed in the past. The approaches employed are mainly directed to conventional production and yield increases using a top-down process and gives little place for human resources development and sustainable agriculture within Turkish extension system.
