Survey Analysis on Performance of Village Extension Workers in Beijing

摘要

To accelerate the improvement in construction of grass-roots agricultural sci-tech service system, establish the Village Extension Worker (VEW) service team, and satisfy increasing demand of Beijing’s farmers for agricultural sci-tech services, Beijing Municipal Bureau of Agriculture selected and trained 500 village-level agricultural technicians to provide agricultural technical services in August 2010. We carried out an interview and questionnaire survey for the first 296 VEWs, and analyzed their basic information, to find out their current service situations, technical training and demand, as well as difficulties in the course of providing services. On the basis of these, we put forward our recommendations on improving the VEW construction.
