Críticas

"Given that decentralization and privatization of extension is a global trend, the book has wide relevance. Its readability and emphasis on practice and implementation should further broaden its appeal. For those with an interest in agricultural information delivery networks and the transformation of agricultural extension is recommended reading."--The Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics "A striking feature of this book is the wealth of information the two editors have been able to put together, information which would otherwise be extremely difficult or tedious to obtain."--Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture
