Advancing Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services Through Open Knowledge.

Welcome to Extension Digital Library

Welcome to the Extension Digital Library, an Agricultural Extension in South Asia (AESA) Network initiative designed to bring together openly available resources on Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services. This platform provides quick access to curated materials that support learning, research, and practice in AEAS. We also invite you to share your openly available published resources so they can be featured and made accessible to the wider community.
