Descrizione Dairy Extension Strategies
The focus of this study is the insights of dairy farming in Australia, with a special interest in the extension strategies adopted within the industry. The important aspect of the project was to study dairy farm management techniques and extension strategies adopted by extension professionals in two states of Australia (New South Wales and Victoria) in light of food security & livelihood issues in Pakistan. This two dimensional study shadowed extension professionals and dairy farmers of the two states, and involved extensive field work. The results showed that extension strategies used in the Australian dairy industry have played an important role in information dissemination of new technologies, with participant-led and group focused approaches, which could possibly be adapted to Pakistan and other developing countries in the region.The study is helpful in improving the livestock/dairy value chains in the developing countries and improving the livelihood and food security issues of the dairy sector and suggests a particular need for development of public-private extension collaboration.
