Extension Systems
Extension systems are organized efforts—often linked to universities, farmers, public and non-state actors that aim to share skills, knowledge and innovations especially in agriculture, health, and community development. The goal is to improve livelihoods by helping individuals apply research-based practices in real-life situations.

This includes not only researchers and farmers, but also agribusinesses, government agencies, NGOs, financial institutions, and policymakers.
