FAO and IAC project explores knowledge transfer for small farmers

In early December 2005, the International Agriculture Center and the FAO Office for Central and Eastern Europe held a meeting on ' Knowledge circulation and generation: innovative advisory approaches for small farmers in EU countries.'

It is the latest in a series of activities forming part of the TRANSFER project - a comparative study on extension and transfer of knowledge in the EU that explores and tests alternative models to improve extension effectiveness in the fruit and vegetable sector. The report of the meeting outlines some of the issues discussed and the conclusions and recommendations, as well as priorities for work in 2006.
