Agricultural extension is another name for Agricultural advisory (what) they gives farmer ideas on how to grow their farms,as well as country knowledge of agronomic techniques and skills(how) to improve productivity, food security and livelihoods.
The most common purpose of extension directors is to disseminate knowledge from research to farmers while simultaneously supporting desirable agriculture development. To be an Agricultural extension agent, you must communicate with the individuals you deal with in order to provide them with the best on how to increase their output.
I assumed that as an Agricultural extension agent, you would responsible for planting crops and raising animals , as well as visiting farms to inspect crops but not give farmers advice on how to improve their products. All I know now is that the Agricultural extension they aimed to Increase farmer knowledge and skills , from supporting farmers in forming groups to connect farmers to markets.
My perspective has shifted as result of the need to investigate Agricultural extension on the other side.When you work as an Agricultural advisor , you must always be prepared to tackle problems because thre are several issues that you may encounter on the farm.
