Title

Teaching community engagement in the Digital Age

Summary

The book chapter explores the evolution of agricultural extension from a top-down, expert-driven model to a participatory, community-focused approach. It emphasizes the importance of building effective communicators and community engagement officers in agriculture, particularly through higher education initiatives like the Community Engagement Course at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. It highlights the role of participatory methodologies, indigenous knowledge, and the digital era in shaping modern agricultural and rural extension practices.
