ABSTRACT

In this study, we analyze the production orientation (agroecological or conventional) of extension workers from nine countries in three continents, based on a questionnaire. We acknowledge the potential of extension workers as multipliers of an agroecological approach and as a way of scaling up agroecology. Results show that almost half of the participants support an agroecological approach, and with a higher frequency than the institutions they work for. Variables such as country (with their different historical contexts), objectives of extension practice, gender, age and years of experience influence the production approach of extension workers.

不同国家的推广人员和顾问对农业生态学的重视程度如何？有助于理解它们在扩大生态农业方面的潜在作用

摘要

在这项研究中，我们基于问卷分析了来自三大洲九个国家的推广人员的生产方向（农业生态或传统）。我们承认推广人员作为生态农业方法的乘法器和扩大生态农业的一种方式的潜力。结果表明，几乎一半的参与者支持生态农业方法，并且其频率高于他们工作的机构。诸如国家（具有不同的历史背景）、推广实践的目标、性别、年龄和经验年限等变量会影响推广工作者的生产方法。
