我们报告了非正式培训在引进新的收获后技术在水稻种植中的重要性，通过非正式接触，探索来自驻在推广工作者（“关键农民”）和柬埔寨农村普通农民的答案。我们使用2012年12月至2013年1月在柬埔寨村庄收集的调查数据。虽然驻地推广人员积极性很高，非正式培训也发挥了关键作用，但缺乏对主要农民的适当财政激励可能会阻碍项目的可持续性。我们还强调，对农村发展的任何干预都必须避免社会排斥和裙带关系。Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons，Ltd和ERP环境
We report the importance of informal training in introducing new post‐harvest technologies in rice farming through informal contacts by exploring answers from both in‐residence extension workers ('key farmers') and ordinary farmers in rural Cambodia. We use survey data collected in Cambodian villages between December 2012 and January 2013. While in‐residence extension workers are well motivated and informal training plays a crucial role, lack of an appropriate financial incentive for the key farmers might hamper the sustainability of the project. We also emphasize that any intervention for rural development must avoid social exclusion and nepotism. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
