The role of agriculture chambers in agricultural extension: A sample of Hanover Region, Germany

Yayımın temel amacı kırsal alanda yaşayan ailelerin yaşam standardını okul-dışı eğitsel faaliyetlerle artırmaktır. Bu nedenle yayım faaliyeti tüm dünyada farklı kurumlar tarafından yürütülmektedir. Almanya'da tarımsal yayım hizmeti tarım bakanlığı, ziraat odası ve özel yayım birimleri tarafından verilmektedir. Özel yayım birimleri, günden güne gelişmektedir. Ancak ülkede uygulanan mevcut yayım sistemlerinin henüz alternatifi durumunda değildir. Almanyada 16 eyalet bulunmaktadır. Ancak her eyalette ziraat odası yoktur. Aşağı Saxonya Eyaletinde, birisi Hannover'de olmak üzere 2 tane ziraat odası vardır. Bölgede Hannover Ziraat Odası yayımın organizasyonunda çok büyük rol ve işlevlere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, ziraat odalarının yayım faaliyetlerindeki rolünün ortaya konulması amacıyla, bir örnek olarak Almanya'nın Hannover Bölgesinde yayım faaliyetlerini yürüten Hannover Ziraat Odası incelenmiştir.

Ziraat odalarının tarımsal yayımdaki rolü: Almanya Hannover Bölgesi örneği

The main aim of extension is to increase the level of living standards of the rural family with non-formal education. For this reason, extension activity is implemented by different institutions in the world. In Germany agricultural extension services are the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture, and Chamber of agriculture and private extension institutions. The private extension units are developing rapidly but it is still not alternative to the current extension systems in the country. There are 16 federal states in Germany but each state does not have its own Chamber of agriculture. The State of Lower Saxony has two agriculture chambers and one of them is located in Hanover. The Chamber of Agriculture of Hanover plays a very important role and functions in the Hanover region in terms of organisation of the extension. The purpose of this paper is to show the role of the Chambers of agriculture in the extension activities. To capture this aim, the extension activities of Agricultural Chamber of Hanover, which is performed the agricultural extension activities in the Hanover region are examined.
