Title StatementSocio-cultural considerations of policy issues associated with technology transfer in rural development
General NoteCollege, Laguna: UPLB, 1988. 71p. -(PCARRD Proj. No. 86-8009-0.01.00)
Summary, Etc.The study identified certain agricultural technology that were developed/adopted in the Philippines and were transferred to the countryside. Data were gathered from research reports, proceedings of conferences, seminars and workshops and/or documentations of transfer of different kinds of technology. The socio-economic constraint in the transfer of azolla technology was the inadequacy of knowledge about the processes involved in the successful use of azolla among the designated change agents. This implied the imperativeness for training the change agents on the short-run and long-run potentials of the technology for both the rice farmers and the economy of the Philippines. An analysis of the current status of hybrid seed production, on the other hand, revealed that the privatization of the maintenance and production of hybrid seeds implied a greater need for the protection of the plant breeders' rights. Thus, it is viewed that a need for the government to formulate rules and regulations to this effect is imperative. As for the rice technology transfer, a determined and aggressive extension delivery system functionally linked with other support services of related agencies was found instrumental in the spread of the Masagana 99 Program. Considerations on policy research on the use of subsidy as a basis for the promotion of agricultural machinery were also necessary. Likewise, an assessment of the real needs of the farmers for farm mechinery should be made. There is a need to document the process involved in technology transfer in pilot and demonstration areas and the consequences of mechanization to the farm families and other social groups
