Communication and development are two things that are very closely related. Agricultural extension activities are one of the facilitating factors for agricultural development. Agricultural extension activities are a communication process where field agricultural extension agents become information sources and farmers as recipients of information. The research objective is to identify the communication process in delivering information about agricultural extension. The study was conducted using qualitative methods. Research location in Rowotengah Village, Sumberbaru District, Jember Regency, East Java. Determination of informants was determined by purposive sampling. Data collection methods used are observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. Test the validity of the data using source triangulation. The results showed that communicators in agricultural counseling were field agricultural extension workers, farmers and pesticide formulator officers. The message conveyed in agricultural extension is the SRI planting system method which includes field schools, organic fertilization, and the manufacture of MOL. The communication channels used are interpersonal channels including face to face, cellphone, and group meetings. The targets of agricultural counseling are group leaders and members of farmer groups. The effect of communication received from the delivery of information on agricultural extension includes cognitive effects, affective effects and conative effects.

ABSTRACT Counseling is one of the important things in providing knowledge to farmers as a process of disseminating information, information processes or providing explanations, the process of changing farmers' behavior (attitudes, knowledge and skills) and the educational process. The importance of the role of agricultural extension workers, especially in the application of organic rice cultivation using the SRI (System of Rice Intensification) method in Tarakan City is still very much needed to improve human resources (farmers) so that they are able to manage existing natural resources intensively in order to achieve productivity and income improvement activities. The purpose of this study was to describe the role of agricultural extension agents in the application of the SRI method in the Mamburungan Village of Tarakan City and to find out the obstacles faced by agricultural extension workers in extension activities to farmer groups in Mamburungan Village, Tarakan City. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with a survey method. This research is analyzed by using descriptive analysis and Likert Scale. Determination of samples using purposive sampling technique. The results of the study show the role of agricultural instructors in the application of the SRI method in Mapan Sejahtera farmer groups as facilitators, motivators, educators and communicators are categorized as very important. The obstacle faced by extension agents in conducting extension activities is the lack of farmers' participation in developing organic rice cultivation with the SRI system because farmers are still focused on conventional rice cultivation; facilities and infrastructure in conducting extension activities are still very minimal so that the process of extension activities is hampered. Key words: Extension, Role of Extension, SRI Method ABSTRAK Penyuluhan merupakan salah satu hal yang penting dalam memberikan pengetahuan kepada para petani sebagai proses penyebarluasan informasi, proses penerangan atau memberikan penjelasan, proses perubahan prilaku petani (sikap, pengetahuan dan keterampilan) dan proses pendidikan. Pentingnya peran penyuluh pertanian khususnya dalam penerapan budidaya padi organik dengan metode SRI (System of Rice Intensification) di Kota Tarakan masih sangat dibutuhkan  untuk meningkatkan SDM (petani)  sehingga mampu mengelola sumber daya alam yang ada secara intensif demi tercapainya kegiatan peningkatan produktivitas dan pendapatan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan peran penyuluh pertanian dalam penerapan metode SRI di Kelurahan Mamburungan Kota Tarakan dan mengetahui kendala yang dihadapi oleh penyuluh pertanian dalam kegiatan penyuluhan pada kelompok tani di Kelurahan Mamburungan Kota Tarakan. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode survei. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dan Skala Likert. Penentuan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peran penyuluh pertanian dalam penerapan metode SRI di kelompok tani Mapan Sejahtera sebagai fasilitator, motivator, edukator dan komunikator dikategorikan sangat berperan. Kendala yang dihadapi penyuluh dalam melakukan kegiatan penyuluhan adalah  kurangnya partisipasi petani dalam pengembangan budidaya padi organik dengan sistem SRI karena  petani masih terfokus dengan budidaya padi secara konvensional; sarana dan prasarana dalam melakukan kegiatan penyuluhan masih sangat minim sehingga mengakibatkan proses kegiatan penyuluhan terhambat. Kata kunci: Penyuluh, Peran Penyuluh, Metode SRI (System of Rice Intensification)

Agricultural development research and policy has to address climate change. Against the mainstream focus on adaptation, this article reports on public policy implications for climate change mitigation of a project measuring environmental, social and economic aspects of India’s rice economy: greenhouse gases (GHGs), energy and water; the quantity and quality of work and a systematic analysis of market and social costs and returns. A detailed life cycle assessment of GHG production generates four different kinds of technological possibilities helping the transition towards lower-carbon agriculture: rain-fed rice production (RR), System of Rice Intensification (SRI), solar pumps (SPs) and halving transmission and distribution (T&D) losses in the electricity grid. Through quantitative ranking and qualitative discursive analysis, a new method, multi-criteria mapping (MCM), is trialled in which the benefits of alternatives are evaluated by incommensurable criteria. These are costs, employment and GHGs. This experimental application crosses two languages (English and Tamil), compares participants with expert knowledge (EKs) with agrarian participants with situated knowledge (SKs), and explores the influence of identity (urban-rural, gender, and education).

In the information overload, agricultural extension agents as agents of agricultural development need to have information literacy skills because most of their main tasks and functions are related to the activities of collecting, processing and disseminating agricultural information. This study aims to 1) identify information literacy among extension workers in Cianjur Regency2) analyze the factors that are related to information literacy among extension workers in Cianjur Regency. The study sample was 80 extension workers in Cianjur Regency. The method of analysis uses descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using Spearman Rank correlation to analyze relationships between variables. The results showed that the information literacy level of agricultural extension workers was classified as middle especially in storing and retrieving information, using information effectively and ethically, and communicating knowledge. Extension agents have a high ability in terms of recognizing the information needed, finding and evaluating it. Two factors that are significantly related to information literacy are characteristics of extension agents (age, formal education level, working life) and accessibility of communication media (ease of access and variety of media uses).

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been considered as key driving forces for enabling agricultural development ‒ the sector which provides livelihoods for majority of the population in Bangladesh. The Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE), the largest public sector agricultural extension service provider in Bangladesh, has recently enacted a new organizational policy for its staffs to use ICTs such as social media to provide better services. However, there is little or merely anecdotal evidence about how extension agents of DAE have been accepting and using social media for their professional work. Drawing on the theoretical underpinnings of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study is a first attempt to investigate social media use and acceptance among extension agents in Bangladesh. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires from 140 extension agents of DAE who work in the eastern region of Bangladesh. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that most extension agents (51.4%) used social media for half an hour to one hour every day. Perceived ease of use (PEoU) and Perceived usefulness (PU) are the most influential elements that determine DAE staff acceptance of social media for performing professional functions. Social media was perceived by extension agents as a means for improving professional performance, such as disseminating agricultural information; garnering support for new agricultural policy; networking with clients and colleagues and enabling coordination of services provided by colleagues. Overall, the findings indicate potential uses of social media in an ICT-based agricultural development strategy in Bangladesh.

The Impact

The social innovation inclines to an emphasis on ‘systems and processes of change in social relations’ and ‘innovation is a new idea, product or process that addresses social and environmental challenges and their needs’. It is newly growing up as a field of practice that is done by people. It has occurred from the broader field of innovation studies. In this article, the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has been taken as a case of social innovation, which helps to increase the productivity of rice and enhance the income of the farmers. The literature related to SRI suggested that the technique is sustainable and innovative because of the less use of inputs and changes in some set of principles (i.e., planting, fertilizer, water and seeds) whereas increasing output in terms of production and productivity of the crop. In this sense, aim of the article is to evaluate the impact of the SRI technique within the framework of social innovation in Patna district, Bihar, India. In a wider context, the question is not about whether it is intensifying or not, rather emphasis should be on how farmers deal with changing environmental and socio-economic factors. Moreover, there is a need to delve deeper into implantation strategies in the local context and evaluate their impact in terms of opportunities and constraints during adaptation. In addition to this, an exploratory research design was followed to study SRI. Criterion and expert sampling were employed to select the farmers, and data were collected by a personal interview method with the help of a structured schedule. However, the data indicate the production and productivity of paddy are increased through SRI, but variation exists among different blocks of the district. It is clearly evident from the data that nearly 42 per cent of farmers from all blocks have witnessed an increase in food sufficiency. In the case of income due to the sale of excess produce is 57 per cent.

For several decades, various sub-Saharan Africa governments have been proactive in revamping their agricultural extension service delivery systems through establishment and revisions of their agricultural extension policies. Despite the existence and implementation of these policies, productivity in small holder farms in these countries is still low several years later. The need to enhance agricultural production is still cited as a challenge, with low adoption of improved technologies being found as the major contributing factor. This study used a qualitative approach to examine farmers’ perceptions regarding the role of extension agents in the diffusion of innovations and its implications on sustainable agricultural development in Malawi and Kenya. Increased focus on using agricultural extension as an improved technology dissemination tool was found to be one of the factors contributing to low agricultural productivity. This among others was as result of failure by extension to tap valuable information, useful knowledge, skills and resources which was found to be available among farmers in both countries. The findings imply farmers no longer value their local knowledge and are uncomfortable sharing it amongst themselves. However, addressing the challenge of low agricultural productivity (heavily impacted by climate change) in these countries requires a shift in approach when delivering agricultural extension services. These changes include the use of interactive Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to solicit feedback and input from farmers and to enhance the two-way communication process.

This article discusses the revitalization of agriculture through the knowledge of the extension agents to the community about the socioeconomic of agriculture. The interesting thing is that the potential of each region to develop agribusiness is very different. Therefore, to develop extension services that support the development of agribusiness, it is necessary to examine carefully the potential of each region. So that the diversity of extension materials must be made possible by innovation. Agricultural extension is expected to be the central point of agricultural development. However, in agricultural extension it must be remembered that extension is a form of intervention against farmers. Progressive and effective agricultural extension workers must be supported and collaborate closely with the Agricultural Research Institute including socio-economic research on agricultural extension which simultaneously conducts monitoring and evaluation of agricultural extension continuously. In disseminating information, the extension worker must carry out a reciprocal process, namely conveying information in the form of researchers' findings to farmers. Sustainable agricultural development really requires the support of strong agricultural technology and socio-economic research results. Without this, agricultural development will stagnate. Therefore, people's participation in planting knowledge needs to be increased.
