Resumen:
The policies of technological transfer and innovation for the
agricultural sector in Mexico have been supported mainly by actions of
the so-called ``extension work'', which has included basically
technical assistance, training and technological support in the use of
inputs and machinery. In this study, we present a synthesis of the
principal milestones in the extension policy in Mexico, centered on the
characterization of the current policy through the Program for Integral
Innovation and Extension Projects (Programa de Proyectos Integrales de
Innovacion y Extension, PIIEX) operated by the Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock Production, Rural Development, Fishery and Food (Secretaria de
Agricultura, Ganaderia, Desarrollo Rural, Pesca y Alimentacion,
SAGARPA). The objective is to analyze the main changes in strategy and
the vision of the policy of technological transfer and innovation, as
well as the role of extension work, through the program's
implementation. The methodology of this research is based on 40
interviews performed with the officials from SAGARPA in charge of the
program and its implementation, and with producers who participate in
such programs, in addition to rescuing the experiences from our
participation in different events that the Ministry organized to launch
the policy.
