Farmers are constantly being subjected to changes that are beyond their control on account of factors that affect the viability and profitability of their farming enterprises. Therefore in order to sustain agricultural development, farmers must acquire the capacity to respond to these changing situations and opportunities in order to maximize production. Farmers need to be helped to develop this capability by encouraging their innovations and by involving them in a learning process in which they are exposed to new knowledge and technologies.
