THINKeEXTENSION

Recently I have been searching for research regarding eExtension. While there is stacks of research about social media use or internet use. I have found almost none that relates to eExtension and how it is influencing onground change in Agriculture or Environment.

Since I believe a) that our survival and prosperity depends upon healthy food and fibre and clean air/water/healthy environment, and b) that using eExtension will create and share the knowledge we need to have vibrant Agriculture and a healthy Environment. I have a purpose to learn and share how eExtension can be more effective. For some months now I have been working on a State of eExtension Report, in an effort to document eExtension practice in 2008 and to find some best practices. The results of the research will be published as a free report available to anyone who wants to improve Agriculture or the Environment.

If you would like to updated as the report becomes available, please join our our Early Bird Notification List. You will find the sign up form in the right hand sidebar or on the State of eExtension Report page.

To augment the online research I have been doing in the last couple of months, I have today created an online survey using Google Docs (great and free eExtension tool). Could you please take a couple of minutes to complete the survey (there’s easy 13 multiple choice questions and 1 optional text question) and can you please tell any one you know who working in Agriculture or Environment to do it too. The State of eExtension Report survey can be found here.
