Abstract

The linkages between agricultural research and extension are important to enhance farmers' competence. The objectives of the study were to explore the linkage between research and extension for the family farm. Data including quantitative and qualitative were obtained from the key actors about the public management regarding linkage which were the method, the topic of the agricultural technology dissemination, and the agricultural research topics. Results show that the main structural problems of the agricultural technology dissemination were technical support services, credit services, and farm planning and infrastructure deficit. Furthermore, as for the topics or content of agricultural technology dissemination, organic agriculture, soil management and conservation, agricultural credit, organizational strengthening, marketing, participatory research, dissemination of technology, equipment, infrastructure and agricultural mechanization were preferred.

농업연구와 지도의 연계는 농업인의 역량을 증진시키는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 농업연구지도 분야의 핵심 담당자를 대상으로 면접을 통하여 가족농 육성을 위한 농업연구와 지도의 연계에 관한 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 농촌지도의 방법, 내용 그리고 농촌연구의 내용 등과 관련한 현안들이 인터뷰를 통해 양적, 질적 자료를 수집하였다. 파라과이 농업기술전파의 구조적 문제점은 기술지원서비스, 신용 서비스, 농가 계획과 기본 인프라의 부족 등이었다. 더욱이 요구되는 농촌지도내용은 유기농업, 토양관리와 보전, 농업신용, 조직역량강화, 마케팅, 참여연구, 기술이전 장비와 인프라, 농업기계화였다.
