ABSTRACT
An important benefit of the PD/A CRSP is the positive economic and social impact that results from farmers adopting new technologies. CRSP researchers in collaboration with host-country institutions have generated knowledge that increases the understanding of the dynamics of fish ponds. This knowledge is then used to develop new technologies that can be applied by producers (Rogers, 1962). The technology or knowledge diffusion process varies across different countries and regions but often involves an extension component that serves to link research functions and output with the production sector.
