The book provides a global overview of agricultural extension and advisory services and assesses and compares extension systems at the national and regional level. It also examines the performance of extension approaches in a selected set of country cases, and shares lessons and policy insights. Covered countries include Brazil, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>For this virtual event, co-organized by IFPRI Ethiopia and IFPRI Malawi, presenters will offer perspectives and insights based on new data from Ethiopia, Malawi, and Uganda.
