The Team Approach and Extension Economics

Ken D. Duft

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1971, vol. 53, issue 1, 47-52

Abstract: With the introduction of new Extension programs in such nontraditional areas as recreation, community resource development, environmental quality, etc., Extension economists will experience some loss of professional autonomy. Rarely will the resources required by these programs be found within the agricultural economics profession alone. This paper proposes that Extension economists adapt the team approach to their contemporary programs. More specifically, the Program Mission Organization is suggested as the interdisciplinary form of organization most applicable. The benefits and limitations of the team approach are then examined in light of a need for operational efficiency within and between all Extension economics programs.
