| Title : | E-CONCEPT OF AN AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE |
| Abstract : | Agriculture and agricultural advisory services face different challenges in the current environment and the nearest future, searching for optimal affirmation solutions of the agricultural extension service and the agriculture in Serbia. The concept of e-agriculture, in line with the idea of the World Summit Information Society (WSIS - World Summit on the Information Society), was identified as a need to transfer knowledge and experience in the application of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in agriculture. Otherwise, the WSIS is supported by the United Nations, and for the full implementation of the concept of e-agriculture the responsibility was assumed by the FAO organization in 2006. E-Agriculture is an emerging concept, which aims to improve agricultural and rural development using information and telecommunications processes. E-Agriculture involves the conceptualization, design, development, evaluation and application of ICT, especially in agriculture. One of the priorities in the agricultural development of Serbia is raising advisory activities in general, as well as the constitution and affirmation of extension services to its full capacity. The work will show the status of agricultural extension services through legislation, the Agriculture Development Strategy of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the type and model of its organization, financing, available human resources, the structure of the basic features, all in order of agriculture and rural development in general. |
