I just stumbled on this  BLDGBLOG’ post Going Agro. I believe wholeheartedly that the future of extension belongs to those extensionists who embrace eExtension, what I hadn’t thought about was the fundamental change that will happen in agriculture if more urban farming begins to happen. As Roof top farming takes off and initiatives like Farmadelphia get traction, there is a whole new audience in need of Extension.

The moral of the story.

The future is uncertain, the need for healthy food and fibre and a healthy environment is an absolute given. The eExtension presence you develop now will serve you as the future of Agriculture and the Environment unfolds. So dig your eExtension well before you need the water.
