Training Course on Knowledge Transfer to Improve Agricultural Productivity

The value of agricultural production in APO members has reached approximately USD 1 trillion in recent years (FAO, 2021). Progress in R&D by agricultural research institutes and organizations has played an important role in supporting continuous growth in production and productivity in the sector.

Agricultural Knowledge and Information Systems (AKIS) support the sharing of knowledge among relevant stakeholders. While technologies and methodologies have evolved, not all farmers in APO members are equipped to adopt and utilize them. There are several reasons for this, but one constraint is the lack of structured, robust knowledge transfer schemes to disseminate knowledge, know-how, and skills from research organizations to farming communities.

This training course will cover methodologies for knowledge transfer and technology dissemination among farmers, examine key success factors from case studies, and localize successful transfer schemes to meet the conditions and needs of member economies.
