The chapter very interestingly argues that the "Agriculture is changing and hence, the Agricultural Extension & the way we teach Extension also need to change" . The Chapter provides lot of reasoning/ insights and arguments, which are much useful to the extension teachers/ scientists/ other agricultural extension professionals..many examples from India and questions posed for extension professionals in India...which is helpful to reorient the extension and also extension teaching ....

Let us think together to make eXtension discipline as a better choice for neXt generation......
