| Özet |
| Women form half of the world and rural area population. Therefore, this indicates that half of the production is done by women and they have a considerable contribution to production. Some indicators reveal that women have a considerably significant share; however, it is also known that they can’t benefit from agricultural services sufficiently. One of these services is agricultural extension training. Women, particularly in developing countries, profit from only a small part of extension sources or time. In this study, the handicaps preventing the agricultural extension services from reaching women were investigated and some proposals were developed in order to eliminate those barriers. It is indicated that there are four basic problems causing women not to make use of those services: they are insufficient time, lack of training, social structure, and poverty. If these problems are to be eliminated, it can be said that the efficiency of extension training directed towards women will increase. It is necessary that social attitude and standard of judgement should change, women should be supported with education, extension programmes should be carried out in integrity, the dimensions of sexual discrimination should be reduced to minimum, and the role of women at home and in agricultural production should be stated with tangible values so that rural women can benefit from agricultural extension training more. |
