“…The first step could be the identification of the different elements in the Agricultural Knowledge and Information System and redesigning this system in a way that information flow among these elements is improved (Sulaiman & Hall, 2002). Clearly this redesign is something that has to be devised locally with arrangements evolving over time and requires a learning approach where interventions are inherently experimental and iterative.…”

“…In addition, the researcher frontiers focused on the path selection and mechanism establishment of the agricultural science and technology promotion, the adoption, assimilation and innovation of agricultural technology and other aspect. As for the extension of the agricultural science and technology innovation, Sulaiman and Hall (2002) studied the reason why it was difficult to promote the new technology, viewpoint, and theory by the case of the agricultural technology promotion in India. And the results showed that the responsibility and relationship of main body and subject, the professional knowledge of the technology users were the more important reason which had a significant impact on the agricultural technology promotion.…”

At present, the fundamental development way of agricultural production lies in science and technology to achieve the agricultural sustainable and stable development and ensure the eff ective supply of agricultural products for a long time. Many Chinese scholars had done many researches about the agricultural science and technology innovation. Numerous scholars got much valuable research conclusions for improving the construction of agricultural science and technology innovation system. However, there were still some problems existing in the current agricultural science research system, such as that the agricultural science and technology studies were divorced from the agricultural production, the mechanism of the market was still imperfect, there was an unreasonable layout in the agricultural science and technology. Th erefore, we wanted to know the dynamic and the evolution path of the international agricultural science and technology innovation. What is more, we wanted to know whether there was a signifi cant diff erence between the domestic and overseas agricultural science and technology innovation and if the international experience was good for the development of the Chinese agricultural science and technology innovation. So, there was analysed the research theme, the hot-spots and frontiers of international agricultural science and technology innovation based on the Citespace III to get the situation and character of the relevant international research.

“…Agricultural extension services typically include capacity development through training, strengthening innovation processes, building linkages between farmers and other agencies, and helping to strengthen farmers' bargaining position through appropriate institutional and organisational development (Sulaiman and Hall, 2002). This form of extension service is common in Zimbabwe and is funded largely by the treasury with supplementary funding from donors for specific agricultural programmes (Saravanan, 2008;Oladele, 2011).…”

Zimbabwe has a pluralistic agricultural extension system. In addition to the public extension service, donors contract private service providers to deliver extension services in specific project areas. This study assesses the impact of an outsourced extension service on rural households in the Mutasa district of Zimbabwe's Manicaland Province, and examines the financial cost and benefit of this service. The extension service was delivered by a local agribusiness firm and funded by USAID. The study analyses survey data gathered from 94 client and 90 non-client rural households. Propensity score matching was used to identify a subset of comparable clients and non-clients. Descriptive statistics were compared across these groups, and the impact of the extension service on each of several outcome variables was estimated using two-stage least squares regression with instrumental variables to account for selection bias. The results show that the outsourced extension service contributed significantly to household crop income, net crop income and expenditure on farm inputs and services. In addition, clients perceived a range of socio-economic benefits such as better diets and health, improved product quality and job creation. An analysis of the financial cost and benefit of the extension service suggests an annual net incremental benefit of US$11,587, representing a 30% return on the investment made by the donor to finance the service. This estimate excludes socio-economic benefits attributed to the extension service.
