  • Enhancing Agricultural Extension Access: The Role of Different Extension Media in Climate-Vulnerable Areas of Bangladesh (2026) · Human Ecology · doi

    The paper identifies a gap in the existing literature on the role of different extension media in climate-vulnerable areas. It highlights the importance of understanding the socio-demographic characteristics of farmers and their impact on agricultural extension access. The paper notes that the average level of education among farmers is low, which may limit their access to agricultural information.

  • Strengthening climate information institutionalization within extension services for improved climate services delivery in South Africa (2026) · Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems · doi

    One of the challenges identified is that farmers rely heavily on indigenous knowledge, which may not be anchored in science. Advisors face challenges in persuading farmers to adopt seasonal forecast-informed advice. The study highlights the need to strengthen the institutionalization of climate information within extension advisory services.
