A Multi-Collaborative Agricultural Technology Extension Model Based on Experimental Demonstration Stations as Platform:Exploration and Practice of"Northwest A&F University Model"
Accelerating the extension and transfer of agricultural scientific and technological achievements is an important driving force for promoting development of agricultural and rural modernization,building an agricultural power,and realizing overall rural revitalization.Through 20 years of practice and exploration,Northwest A&F Uni-versity has created a multi-collaborative agricultural technology extension model based on the platform of experi-mental demonstration stations,which is referred to as"Northwest A&F University Model".It attracts the partici-pation of universities,governments,research institutes,agricultural extension systems,enterprises,and farmers.By many experimental stations in the areas with regional advantageous and distinctive agricultural production,the uni-versity assembles multi-disciplinary talent teams from both the university and local areas to carry out full industrial chain technological innovation and speed up the transfer of agricultural technology to farmers.In this model,the re-sources of all stakeholders including the governments,universities,enterprises and farmers are effective used,provi-ding strong support for the upgrading and development of regional advantageous and distinctive agricultural indus-tries.
