Abstract
Agricultural extension services are crucial
for promoting innovation, particularly in regions where farming is the primary
livelihood. These services bridge the gap between farmers and research
institutions, facilitating the transfer of new technologies to enhance
productivity and sustainability. In India, where agriculture supports a
majority of the population, extension services play a vital role, especially in
challenging regions like Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh. The Indian Grassland and
Fodder Research Institute (IGFRI) and the Central Agroforestry Research Institute
(CAFRI), under ICAR, have contributed significantly to sustainable farming.
However, not all farmers actively engage with these institutions, leading to
gaps in innovation adoption. This study compares the innovativeness of farmers
who engage with research institutes versus those who do not, highlighting the
positive impact of extension services on technology adoption.
