| Summary: | Four extension systems are compared in this paper: the U.S. Cooperative Extension Service (CES), the "typical system" (TES) in developing countries, the Training and Visit System (T&V), and the Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR/D) approach. While distinct in various ways from one another, interesting and useful insights can be gained through comparing and contrasting their purposes, organization, particular strengths, and special programs. Extension is seen to have several discrete definitions and aims, varying structural arrangements and hence, differing strengths and weaknesses. While organizational concerns may be the key factor for extension development experts currently working in underdeveloped countries, it is suggested that the linkage among educational, research, and extension bodies remains a major factor for success in the overall agricultural development process.
