Livelihood Development and Rural Transformation Perspectives from Agricultural Extension

Livelihood Development and Rural Transformation: Perspectives from Agricultural Extension explores the changing nature of rural livelihoods and the expanding role of agricultural extension in building resilient, inclusive and sustainable rural communities. Moving beyond conventional technology transfer, the book examines livelihood diversification, entrepreneurship, digital extension, gender and youth inclusion, community institutions, FPOs, climate resilience, markets, value chains and policy support.
With a strong focus on capabilities, resilience, institutional access and sustainable livelihood opportunities, the book provides practical and conceptual insights for students, researchers, extension professionals, development practitioners and policymakers working toward meaningful rural transformation.
