Abstract
Is there a best way to set up national systems todevelop and transfer better agricultural technology The answer is ofparticular significance to African countries, which are struggling tosolve their food problems. Drawing on a comparison of two developingcountries, this article argues that a matrix structure, in which thereare multiple organisational links reaching upward and across the system,is essential to propagate new farming technology. Successfulrestructuring of technology systems along these lines, however, requirespolitical mobilisation of farmers, something few African governmentshave been willing or able to do.
