- W58408666 abstract "Agricultural Extension is an integrated science of social change in which farmers and their households are made conscious of their problems, feel the need to solve them and motivated to take actions, using available resources in order to enhance their livelihood. However, to what extent has this social change concept “functional” in terms of ensuring sustainable development? Sustainable development has always been one of the major public concerns over natural resources and the environment. In ecological terms, sustainability refers to the ability of the ecosystem to maintain productivity over time in the face of large disturbances (Cornway, 1987). The crucial issue addressed in this study is whether the promotion of irrigated farming system in Nigeria, through Fadama Development Initiative (FDI), is consistent with sustainable ecological development. This paper argues that Agricultural Extension service delivery in Nigeria has propagated overdependence on agro-chemicals, including fertilizers, heavy and frequent tillage operations and uneconomic use of water, which is unfriendly to the environment. It therefore proposes a workable model involving an educational programme, through the extension service, to train farmers on organic manuring and reworking of farm residues into the soil, practice of minimum tillage to reduce the development of iron-pan and enhance water percolation (reduce soil erosion), and efficient water utilization." @default.
