  • As a promoter of innovation, extension is an important tool for the resolution of problems associated with rural territories.
  • In order to be successful, rural extension must satisfy the demands and interests of those who receive innovation.
  • Extension that promotes co-design in innovation is a clear road to achieving changes.
  • Extension must conceive of innovation as a learning process.
