In which extension approach are disadvantageous to farmers as it does not provide advisory services to other aspects of farming?

• Cost-sharing approach

• Farming systems development approach

• Commodity specialized approach

• Training and visit system approach

This extension approach is highly disciplined and patterned with fixed schedule of training of village extension workers for farmers.

• Educational institution approach

• Participatory approach

• Commodity approach

• 
  Training and visit approach

The measure of success of this approach is farm people’s willingness and ability to provide some share of the cost, individually or through their local government units

• General extension approach

• Cost-sharing approach

• Commodity specialized approach

• Farming systems approach

In this approach, farmers are involved in the whole process of decision-making from data collection and analysis, identification of problems to implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

• Farmer-field school

• Participatory technology development

• Participatory extension approach

• Farming systems development approach

What best defines an Extension Intervention in the context of AFNR (Agriculture, Forestry, and Natural Resources) development?

• A government regulation focused on controlling agricultural imports and exports

• A generic term for an extension project aimed at influencing AFNR development through an agricultural intervention process targeting a specific sector or community

• A technological innovation solely for large-scale commercial farming

• A policy framework for the privatization of agricultural land

Which characteristic best describes the Top-down Technology Transfer Model (TOT)?

• It uses farmers' input to design research priorities

• It encourages a collaborative, two-way communication process

• It is a one-way process where technologies are passed from scientists to users with weak farmer involvement

• It relies primarily on indigenous knowledge from local communities

What is a key limitation of the Feedback Technology Transfer (FFT) Model?

• It excludes scientists from the research process

• It only works with large-scale farms

• eedback is weak because users remain passive recipients, and the responsibility for feedback lies solely with extension services

• It places too much emphasis on farmers' traditional knowledge

How does the Modified Feedback Technology Transfer Model improve upon the traditional FFT model?

• By excluding extension services from the process

• By using only on-station experiments for validation

• By identifying farmer target groups and involving them in diagnosis, testing, and evaluation

• By centralizing decision-making with policymakers

What role do farmers play in the Farmer-back-to-Farmers Model?

• They receive technology passively with minimal involvement

• They are excluded from research planning but included in adoption

• They and extension personnel are actively involved throughout the research process to enhance two-way communication

• They only provide feedback after technology has been implemented

Which model emphasizes interdisciplinary team research and testing of solutions both on farms and at research stations?

• Top-down Technology Transfer Model

• Feedback Technology Transfer Model

• Modified Feedback Technology Transfer Model

• Farmer-back-to-Farmers Model
