“…Many scholars consider (explicitly or implicitly) quality to be farmers' satisfaction with the extension service (e.g. Benin et al, 2007;Issa and Issa, 2013;Singletary et al, 2016). In this way, farmers and their expectations and wishes define what quality is.…”

“…Nonetheless, there are also other two, frequently mentioned, aspects of quality with regards to RE&AS. Firstly, there are several authors who focus on the quality of extension programs (Garst and Franz, 2014;Singletary et al, 2016), and not on RE&AS as a whole. On the other hand, other scholars pay attention to the quality of extension agents (Sarker and Itohara, 2009), that is to the quality of the human resources that provide RE&AS.…”

The quality of rural extension and advisory services is a crucial element in fostering innovation and rural development. This article aims to clarify the concept of quality of rural extension and to develop a preliminary theoretical framework. An ample literature review was conducted in search of articles on service quality and quality of rural extension and advisory services. The first part presents the main results of the literature searchon quality of extension services. The definition of quality is not universal. Quality cannot be conceptualized only as farmers’ satisfaction or as extension results. It has different dimensions or components and stakeholders have different points of view about it. The second part of this article discusses the definition of service quality and the concept of Total Quality Management and underlines that the concept of quality variesaccording to industry types or contexts and is the result of complex negotiation among different stakeholders. Finally, a comprehensive theoretical framework for addressing quality of rural extension and advisory services is presented that differentiates among enablers that limit or facilitate the delivery of quality rural extension and advisory services, the production and delivery processes, and results obtained. Here, the key roleplayed by quality self-assessment and organizational learning is highlighted.

“…The evaluation system of AES can be used to analyze the main factors affecting the sustainable development of agriculture [22], to put forward improvement measures [23], and to improve the efficiency of AES [24]. The evaluation results of the evaluation system of AES can improve the decision-making of the agricultural sustainable system [25], reduce the obstacles to the sustainable development of agriculture [26], and provide support for the government to formulate agricultural policies [27]. In this study, sustainable agricultural development is analyzed from three dimensions of the environment, society, and the economy [28,29], as well as the dimension of AES, by constructing an evaluation index system of AES and adopting a multiple-criterion decision-making method [30].…”

Agricultural extension service is the foundation of sustainable agricultural development. The evaluation and analysis of the agricultural extension service for sustainable agricultural development can provide an effective analytical tool for sustainable agriculture. This paper analyzes the influence of agricultural extension service on sustainable agricultural development, and constructs an evaluation system for sustainable agricultural development from the four dimensions of agricultural environment, society, economy, and agricultural extension service. This work proposes a framework based on the combination of technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and entropy method to evaluate the performance of the evaluation system. Taking three national modern agriculture demonstration zones in Suzhou in Jiangsu Province as a case study, the method was verified. Moreover, the main factors affecting sustainable agricultural development are discussed, and the improvement measures and management suggestions are also put forward to reduce the obstacles to sustainable agricultural development and improve sustainable agriculture practice.

“…There are many barriers to agricultural development on Indigenous lands. Singletary, Emm, Brummer, Hill, Lewis, & Hebb (2015) identified several such barriers including geographic isolation, socio-political marginalization, marginal productivity of lands, lack of operating capital, shortage of human capital necessary to manage lands effectively, and land tenure. The right and ability to govern the people and lands of a reservation has always been held by the different tribal groups (Pevar, 2012).…”

The Wind River Indian Reservation undertook the development of an agricultural resource management plan in 2015. The reservation is 8903 sq•km of which 63% is in crop and grazing lands. This project's aim was to create a community-based integrated plan. A series of community meetings identified 83 issues and topics relating to agricultural development on the reservation. Using information from community meetings, the final agricultural resource management plan consists of 9 major elements, with 12 goals, 46 objectives and 88 policies. Three key issues are addressed in the plan: provide the reservation with a plan that leads to self-management of their agricultural resources; integrate the major agricultural elements as defined by the community into policies; and, create a governance structure that fosters agricultural development into the future.
