Overview:

Agricultural extension has been undergoing major changes. Changing policies, declining public funding, new thinking and approaches, climate change and other environmental factors pose major challenges to public sector extension services. Pre-packaged, crop and region-biased extension approaches often failed to help remote and resource poor farmers to cope with rapidly changing realities. This has necessitated the search for alternative approaches. One such alternative, plant health clinics, has been developed and tested by the CAB International led Global Plant Clinic Alliance in many countries since Operated by staff of local organisations in locations that are easily accessible to farmers, plant clinics accept any crop problem. They provide regular, relevant and practical advisory services on plant health management.
