Isi artikel

The article examines the failure of agricultural information systems in the Third World to provide relevant information in support of food production. In many independent African countries (Kenya is taken as an example) there has been little qualitative change in the information services since colonial times; new technologies have been introduced which are more suitable for industrialized countries. Present-day agricultural information services are examined and solutions are suggested. However, a real solution cannot emerge until the social, economic and political foundations of society undergo a transformation which will allow the emergence of a peopleorientated information service.
