Reviving technology demonstration in farmer’s field – an appraisal
Journal Title: Journal of Experimental Biology and Agricultural Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 0
Abstract
Technologies, awareness of management practices to overcome diseases, role of stakeholders has been crucial for well-being of livestock and farmers. Efforts are made to provide quality health care with advent of modern techniques, advocating as well as sharing considerable resources with livestock institutions. However, the key component which enhances effectiveness of service delivery is Farm Management. This review paper reinforces necessity to attempt different incubation models for technology demonstrations in improvising it. Collaborative approach involving primary stakeholders (farmers) has been stressed in this endeavour. Models like Non Linear Innovation System [NLIS] and Open Source Innovation System [OSIS] has been shared. Features like development of utilize system, trust, social reciprocity, involvement of information gatekeepers can enhance scope of large scale utilization and diffusion of technologies. The challenge for livestock system is to minimize technological gap between research stations and end users stations. The accessibility of technical know-how depends on several criteria such as gender, availability of technology, reinforcement strategies among farmers and resource personnel's, networking among institutions, nature of demonstrations and ethical values. It is to be reiterated that more literature evidence needs to be generated in livestock science for In-situ incubation Model of Alternative Technologies [IMAT]. The paper argues for standardizing and providing simple solutions based on revival of knowledge systems. Widening knowledge gap between formal institutions and primary stakeholders can be reduced through IMAT. This enhances bonhomie among different stakeholders during interface through scientific intervention.
