Agricultural technology development and transfer is a driving force for national development. The perspective is to reduce poverty and hunger facing people by adopting new measures to raise income and attain household food security. This is attainable through the establishment of research institutions, extension services, farmer organizations, and public private participation. The primary function of extension service is to deliver efficient and effective transfer of agricultural technologies to farmers as a factor for rural development. The importance of technology development and transfer approaches in developing countries has been recognized as a tool for economic development. Technology development and transfer economics create employment opportunities, reduce poverty, and enhance economic growth. Therefore, better agricultural technologies and better policies can serve as catalysts for economic return. This chapter examines the components of agricultural technology development and transfer and offers implied lessons for emerging technologies like nanotechnology and microelectronics transfer and diffusion.
