Philippines leading the eExtension charge.

Started by eco2oh · 9 months ago

While eExtension is an emerging discipline and at times hard to draw hard lines around, it is a sector that is set to explode. It is arriving very quickly and is likely to see wide spread uptake in the next 12 to 18 months.

  • Thank you so much for posting your message in our site (www.e-extension.gov.ph), we are greatly inspired and encouraged with your post. Upon checking out your site which you provided a link in your post, we are deeply honored that you have written something on what we are doing here in the Philippines particularly on e-Extension. We will certainly learn from your site particularly on the strategies and new trends on e-Extension and hopefully we can also do it here in the Philippines. We are lucky that we have the support of the management as well as the government for this program and we will continue to implement this kind of program and evolve further based on your experiences as well as the other countries, since we believe that through e-Extension we can reach out to more people especially the extension workers, people who want to invest in agriculture and the farmers, fishers and the youth.Thanks again and more power!

  • It is very inspiring that you have taken note of a very simple beginning! Simple, in that, our agency started with very little resource and very little knowledge. But THE BIG DREAM to reach out to as many people in the rural areas who have no or have the least resources to reach the nearest Training Center, pushed us to explore options other than the traditional four walled classroom to bring new technologies to farmers. We felt BIG by your post . . . what a great privilege! We hope we can take advantage of this healthy discussion on e-Extension experiences, for through it, we can improve and have better quality; we can expand and reach out to more of our farmers in the hinterlands through our agricultural technicians; we can have greater depth in out services; we can also have greater color in our mechanisms. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
