Macro Organization and Management Model for Implementation of Technical Change in Agriculture

Abstract

This note first discusses which of the three strategies of extensive farming, intensive agriculture, and seed and resource centred technical change may be chosen. Reasons for its choice are also briefly indicated, besides stating what major factors determine it. It then goes on to identify organizational and management framework for agencies that would be required to implement the technical change in a synthesized manner due to high degree of technical complementarity among non-land inputs. Finally, it briefly highlights changes required in these to make implementation process more effective, accountable, and rapid.
