How much do extension agents and advisors value agroecology in different countries? Contributions to the understanding of their potential role in scaling up agroecology
Open accessAbstract
In this study, we analyze the production orientation (agroecological or conventional) of extension workers from nine countries in three continents, based on a questionnaire. We acknowledge the potential of extension workers as multipliers of an agroecological approach and as a way of scaling up agroecology. Results show that almost half of the participants support an agroecological approach, and with a higher frequency than the institutions they work for. Variables such as country (with their different historical contexts), objectives of extension practice, gender, age and years of experience influence the production approach of extension workers.

The traditional, top-down advisory role has been questioned as to whether it effectively addresses current challenges in agriculture, as it neglects the complexity of systems and their context specificity.
“The traditional, top-down advisory role has been questioned as to whether it effectively addresses current challenges in agriculture (Landini et al. 2021, Krafft et al. 2022), as it neglects the complexity of systems and their context specificity (Charatsari et al. 2019).”

To support agroecological practices through the use of CA principles, more systemic, facilitative, and participatory approaches of advisory actors are needed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
