Lesson summary

Communication is the lifeblood of modern agriculture. In Ghana, for a farmer in a remote village in the Savannah Region to benefit from a new drought-resistant maize variety developed at the CSIR in Accra, effective communication must happen. This lesson explores the different channels or "modes" used to share vital agricultural information. Understanding these modes helps us see how knowledge moves from researchers to policymakers, to extension officers, and finally to the farmers who feed our nation, and how feedback from farmers gets back to the researchers.

Lesson notes

Starter Activity: Think-Pair-Share (10 minutes) Think (2 mins): Individually, think about this question: "How do farmers in your hometown or village get information about farming (e.g., when to plant, what fertilizer to use, or the price of yam in the city)?" Pair (3 mins): In pairs, share your ideas with your partner. Discuss the different methods you both thought of. Share (5 mins): The teacher will ask a few pairs to share their key points with the entire class. Write these points on the board (e.g., "radio," "from other farmers," "Agric officer," "phone call").

This activity introduces the topic and helps learners connect it to their own experiences.
