Horticulture includes fruits, vegetables, floriculture, spices, mushroom, medicinal and
aromatic plants and plantation crops such as tea, coffee and arecanuts.lt has emerged
as an important sector of agriculture in recent years. Research, extension. and
education are the three wheels for horticulture development Despite the emergence of

15 years, the Nepal Agriculture Research Council, the Department of Agriculture and
the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science still remain the predominant suppliers of
these services in Nepal: The agricultural education system is more theoretical. The gap
between education, research and extension is one of the main factors causing poor
impact. Realizing this fact, some practices have been started in recent years for
bridging this gap. Some of these practices are the Farmers' Field Schools, Farmer to
Farmer Diffusion Approach, Outreach Sites, and Uptake Pathways and Scaling-up.
Various Permanent Committees at different levels are also formed and operated for
education-research-extension linkages. The policy and organizational reforms made in
recent years have some implications for agricultural education, research and extension
system. Lack of systems analysis; research practices recommended without sufficient
discussion among concerned stakeholders, lack of representation of equcation
institutions in most of the permanent committees, lack of integrated planning and lack
of common approach in pocket-package strategy are identified as key weaknesses of
education, research and extension linkages. Some ways forward for effective
education, research and extension are suggested. |
