La extensión rural para la actividad ganadera en Colombia: legislación, desarrollos, brechas y oportunidades por Hurtado, Angie, Díaz, Manuel Francisco, Enciso, Karen, Burkart, Stefan

“…Among the multiple factors and elements that are traditionally used, this study highlights a constant in the equation: rural extension services. Although rural development does not go exclusively through extension work, it is a necessary condition to achieve progress in this matter: the creation of capacities in technical and economic matters regarding the pasture and animal management allows producers to get involved in the solution of problems they are affected by, and having these capacities allows stimulating, not only the adoption of more sustainable and productive technologies, but also a more rational use of the available resources. …”

Empowering regions and countries to scale demand-driven, evidence-based agri-food system solutions por Nchanji, Eileen Bogweh, Bailey, Arwen, Ewell, Hanna, Enokenwa Baa, Ojongetakah, Liani, Millicent L., Nortje, Karen, Mulinganya, Noel, Sylla, Almamy, Munoz, Gutierrez Odette, Mukhopadhyay, Prama

“…This is particularly true if we consider underserved groups within communities who are not invited to influence design but often remain on the margins of innovation development and benefits. This not only undermines the potential impact of the innovation but also risks reinforcing existing inequities—with innovations disproportionately benefiting the better connected and already-included, and potentially doing more harm than good by widening social and economic gaps. …”
