AB  - Is there a “best” way to set up national systems to
develop and transfer better agricultural technology? The answer is of
particular significance to African countries, which are struggling to
solve their food problems. Drawing on a comparison of two developing
countries, this article argues that a matrix structure, in which there
are multiple organisational links reaching upward and across the system,
is essential to propagate new farming technology. Successful
restructuring of technology systems along these lines, however, requires
political mobilisation of farmers, something few African governments
have been willing or able to do.
