2009
Sandoval, Antonia Cecilia
The study sought to 1) trace the early beginnings of the alayon, 2) determine the alayon's role in the development and transfer of technology; 3) identify some needs and contraints to technology development and dissemination; and 4) identify and describe the common methods of technology transfer employed by the alayon. A stratified multi-stage sampling was used to identify the respondents. A total of fifteen alayons with 167 memebers were studied using a focused-structured interview. Accesss to agricultural technology was gained by most farmers in addition to the economig and social benefits. Financial constraint was the most common problem felt. Common methods employed by the alayon in the transfer of technology included informal conversation, training/seminar/farmer's class and actual field observation/documentation.
