AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION IN LEBANON
FARAH J.
Abstract
Extension plays an important role in agriculture.
Agriculture in developing countries including Lebanon, unlike the developed
countries, has a lot of specialities which the extension and extension agents
have to take into consideration. The extension service should intervene in all
the branches of agriculture. In Lebanon, the agricultural extension service
will have a more difficult task due to the past events. It should operate in
all branches which were neglected during the war. These activities are included
in „ Plan 2 000 " which requires rather great expenditures.
Key words:
Extension in agriculture, extension service, Lebanon,
developed countries, problems.
