The Rome Declaration on World Food Security, endorsed by the world Food Summit in 1996, states that food production and rural development, particularly in those countries with significant food security inadequacies, require appropriate and up-to-date technologies which, according to sustainable development criteria and local food traditions, promote modernization of local production methods and facilitate transfer of technology. Full benefit from these technologies will require training, education and skill development programmes for local human resources. Training for agriculture and rural development provides information about successful and innovative practices, methodologies and strategies involving education and training, extension and communication in both developed and developing countries. The articles in the 1997-98 issue address a wide range of human resource issues and strategies and lessons learned from applying agricultural training, education, extension and communication to the development of human resources to achieve food security.

Training of agriculture teachers and extension workers becomes more and more important as an ever growing number of farmers in developing countries have to master skills in order to generate income and improve their standards of living. Beginning with an overview of the relationship between literacy and agricultural extension, this book goes on to investigate the success of improving the quality of teaching and looks at case studies of more recent approaches to rural education for all members of the household.
