Hello
I'm a student of the Technical School of Agricultural Engineers of Madrid
(Polithecnic University of Madrid, UPM) and I'm doing a final work (project)
to obtain the title of Agricultural Engineer. I've focused my work in a
"Consultancy of Organic Agriculture", which is the only agriculture I've
believe in for a sustainable future. But I've got many problems to find out
information about the process of asessment/consultancy in OA. I've looked
through internet, bibliotheques, asked people...
but no specific information of this area seems to exist because there are
not reviews neither books about it.
To develop my final work, the basis methodology of my school have been made
from the "Guide for agricultural and rural investment projects" made by the
F.A.O, but this methodology is based on integral development of "third world
countries" (I don't like this terminology). And in my school teachers have
focused on production, not to services to the agriculture. I talked with
the teacher of "Agricultural Extension" but he told me that he had no idea
about that, something that says by itselfs the knowledge of my university in
this area.
So, I'm asking for help to everybody that can give me any idea of what i'm
trying to do.
There are many questions i've got to answer to make my work, but here they
are some of them:
- How does a agricultural consultancy works?
- What are the services usually offered?
- What is the management of this kind of consultancy?
Thanks for all the information that you can offer me. Yours faithfully,
Jorge Molero Cortés
