an growing source of information for organic producers
eOrganic is part of the eXtension project, an “educational partnership of 74 universities in the United States”, providing, “objective and research-based information and learning opportunities that help people improve their lives.’
This is the Extension of the future — collaborative, on-line, accessible 24/7 and peopleless. The Extension Agent of the past, who would actually come out to the farm and diagnose problems and mete out advice has gone the same way as the doctor who made house calls. Money has run out. Offices are being closed, people let go and moved around. Programs are being re-structured.
There are other planets in the eXtension galaxy. These are called Resource Areas. They include much more than agriculture. Lots of good information.
