| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Agricultural extension seeks to provide its clientele with satisfactory and continuous extension services. Extension’s success depends on the approach being adopted and operated under the specific conditions of each country. The Sudan has made many efforts to improve the effectiveness of agricultural extension functions. This study evaluates selected agricultural extension approaches operating in Sudan. A field survey was conducted to collect data from 160 extension officers and 400 farmers. Two different close-ended questionnaires were constructed (Leading questions) and used in data collection, one for extension officers and another for farmers. The collected data was coded, fed to the computer, and statistically analyzed using the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS), and interpreted by percentage, frequency distributions, and analysis of variance analysis (ANOVA) at a 0.05 significance level or less. According to the results of this study, the Farmer Field Schools approach (FFS) is the most suitable approach for Sudan.</p> |
