Learning and Innovation Competence in Agricultural and Rural Development

Laxmi Prasad Pant · 2012 · The Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension

Summary. This paper argues that agricultural and rural development benefit when competence development and capacity development are integrated rather than kept separate. The research finds that measuring learning outcomes—changes in how people think, feel, and act—better develops organizational innovation capacity than traditional input-output metrics. The author concludes that combining theory-based, competence-based, and experiential learning through education and extension strengthens innovation systems in agriculture.
