A suite of extension practise resources is freely available online for extension and adoption practitioners working across agriculture.
The resources cover a range of extension topics including extension theories, change management information, practical guides and evaluation guidance. The original suite of resources was curated by the University of Melbourne and Cumbre Consultants, and is now collectively housed online by AgriFutures Australia.
This website and resource curation was developed as part of an AgriFutures (previously the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation) project called Extension and Adoption for Australian Farmers and Fishers. A working group of Australian extension experts partnered with AgriFutures, utilising funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit Programme, in developing the site.
This site will be further developed, with additional resources added, through a reinvigorated focus on Adoption. We look forward to sharing and connecting with agricultural practitioners across Australia and through the APEN network!
