Agricultural extension services and rural innovation in inner Scandinavia

Bjørnar Sæther · 2010 · Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift - Norwegian Journal of Geography

Summary. Agricultural extension services in Norwegian Hedmark and Swedish Värmland take different approaches to supporting rural innovation. Värmland's extension services foster entrepreneurship and rural development through networked regional systems, while Hedmark's services remain tied to conventional agro-industrial models within a centralized national system. The study shows extension services function as either catalysts for agricultural restructuring or defenders of traditional farming approaches.
