Socio- Economic Characteristics of Urban Extension Workers Influencing Empowerment of Farmers in Nairobi County, Kenya

“…Those workers with experiences of over 5 years to 15 years were generally more comfortable with most methods as opposed to those with over 15 years of experience. These results concur with the findings of Oluwafemi, Olorunfemi and Oladele, (2019) indicating that at an average of 9.35 years of experience extension workers were expected to have enhanced their capacity on implementing issues on climate agricultural initiatives. The implication is that as the workers gained more field experience, they would progress to using diverse methods of extension.…”

Influence of Subjective Norms on the Use of Information and Communication Technologies for Agricultural Risk Management: Empirical Evidence from Malaysia

“…In this perspective, extension agents could a play prime role in imparting knowledge and new skills among farmers to become resilient. Olorunfemi et al (2019) and Akhtar et al (2019) stated that the role of extension workers around the globe is crucial and there is a dire need to empower extension agents as they lack a wide range of knowledge about solutions of climate smart agriculture.…”
