Aims and Scope (from publisher):
The Journal of Extension Systems (JES) is a double-blind refereed and authoritative reference that deals with extension systems in both emerging and developed economies. The content extends from the role of extension to organizational models and extension methodologies (use and impact of different methods and media, from the most traditional to innovative ICTs). The JES deals with the role and impacts of extension on the diffusion of technical and organizational innovations, rural development and livelihoods.
The Journal covers both top–down and bottom-up approaches; articles are welcome about private advisory agencies, public agencies and NGOs. A relevant aspect of extension systems is their funding and JES accepts articles covering both public and private financing, with different approaches and strategies.
Articles about linkages with education, applied research and knowledge creation are also welcome, to analyse how extension cooperates with agricultural policy, education, applied research, producers and other agents of the agri-food chains.
Taking into account the growing difficulties generated by climate change, articles are invited about how extension is adapting its message and methods to deal with the effects of climate change, as well as with food security issues. Contributions are also invited about extension for non food contents: extension for the diversification of rural incomes, environment, agro-tourism, etc. Extension activities for special groups are invited: women, elderly, youth, ethnic minorities, as well as extension for rehabilitation after conflicts and natural disasters.
