Factors affecting the provision of rural direct technical assistance in technology transfer models based on a territorial approach
Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the years, technology transfer in the Colombian agricultural sector has been carried out through technical assistance, seeking to improve production and socioeconomic conditions of farmers. However, the best possible results have not been achieved, since the strategies implemented have been generally designed without considering the particular features of each region, in the same way the territorial approach is trying to be implemented in the peace process. This paper aims to evaluate in a methodical way the factors that can affect the process of technology transfer, such as poverty, illiteracy and geographical conditions. Only in this way, knowing the unique features of each territory, can their needs be known, allowing to more successfully design strategies that ensure an improvement in the living and production conditions of Colombian farmers. A territorial approach will reduce generic technology transfer models, which only work in particular areas, building on the success of technical assistance strategies. To achieve this goal, systemic and timely analyzes that generate specific technical assistance programs for each territory are required.
