and continue to use technologies developed by the program.
Commodity approach - The key characteristic of this approach groups all the functions for increased
production - extension, research, input supply, marketing and prices - under one administration.
Participatory extension approach – put responsibility of determining agricultural extension programs in the
hands of farmers making them partners with GOs and NGOs.
