How can we
overcome it?

 Strategies:

• The development of relevant improved

technologies by research -- with inputs and
feedback from extension and farmers -- and
their dissemination via extension.

• The development of relevant policies and

support systems by planning, and their
implementation by extension and
governmental and non-governmental
developmental organisations.

What kind of method can be
applied in Indonesia?

station-based research has already
developed a number of potentially
useful technologies that can solve
problems articulated by farmers.
