ABSTRACT
In our quest for a magic formula which would open the horizons for development, agriculture looms large as an inevitable possibility. If agriculture were only a matter of hoe, seed, stick, and mud, it would be relatively simple but the basic biological process involves a whole network of human relationships, the transformation of which is bound to be difficult and seldom immediately rewarding. The instrument often called upon to enable actual and potential manpower to meet the task of modernization in agriculture is — education and ‘educational’ activities. This chapter, in an attempt to examine educational experiences in the Philippines relating to agriculture, includes the foliowing:
A survey of the agricultural education scene
An analysis of the different facets of agriculture and their educational implications, and
Some educationally unorthodox approaches to education for agriculture.
