Social marketing as a strategy for communicating agricultural innovations in rural development

Description:: This article is a systematic assessment of how nine key concepts in social marketing can help us in drawing up effective rural development campaigns in Africa. The focus is on how to use these concepts in formulating a strategy for communicating agricultural innovations in African rural settings. The article recognises the fact that there is no single overall reliable method for communicating with farmers everywhere but believes that the social marketing principles can be more successful with the farmer in most rural situations.
