Research-extension linkages

Research-extension linkages refer to the collaboration and communication between researchers (those who develop new knowledge or technologies) and extension services (those who share this knowledge with farmers or communities). This connection ensures that scientific discoveries are efficiently transferred into practical use, helping farmers improve crops, livestock, or sustainable practices. Effective linkages facilitate feedback from users to researchers, guiding future studies, and promote the adoption of innovations to benefit local economies, food security, and environmental health.
