The development and transfer of improved technology to farmers is a critical factor in agricultural development, but in many developing countries the process is poorly understood and in need of reassessment. This document presents an annotated bibliography of 271 items in areas related to these issues; most date from 1975 onwards, but a few older citations which have become classics are included. The bibliography is divided into five sections: (1) General Agricultural Development; (2) Policy and Planning; (3) Technology Development; (3) Technology Transfer; and (5) Technology Utilization. In the first section, most documents cited deal with agricultural development or systems in an integrated way, linking issues of policy, research, transfer, and utilization; a smaller number deal with a particular issue. Policy and planning as related to national technology systems are discussed in the second section, while the remaining three sections deal with the various functional activities within the systems and the interrelationships among them. Author, title, and subject indexes are included.

No district, region or facility is named in this program's documents yet. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far. Towns and natural features are not drawn.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: global. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.95.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
