Poverty, Vulnerability, and Agricultural Extension: Policy Reforms in a Globalizing World

The study draws on evidence from India and a range of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to argue that agricultural extension has an essential role in helping farmers to reach into new, often global, markets. There should be a comprehensive strategy within agricultural extension to address low-income agricultural households in the context of their wider livelihoods and not merely as commodity producers.
