Abstract

For the last three years, U.S. Extension personnel have been involved in a collaborative project with Poland's Ministry of Agriculture to restructure and revitalize Poland's Agricultural Advisory Service. Beyond helping Poland, this project has provided a unique opportunity to extend the federal/state/county partnership that has made our domestic Extension programs so successful to the international arena. As word of the project's accomplishments has spread, USDA has received requests for Extension help from Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Ukraine. At a critical time in history, U.S. Extension has been able to demonstrate the power and effectiveness of adopting to and meeting the needs of the people.
