Already for quite some time, I have been pleading for the establishment of an extension agrometeorology, in which also suitable intermediaries are trained and equipped to better articulate the needs of the farmers and farming communities for weather services. See also Box IV.5. The users as well as those intermediaries, making locally available some kinds of weather and climate related information more suitable than what is routinely generated (e.g.Winarto et al. 2008), should get much better educated/trained for absorption and establishment of agrometeorological services (Stigter 2003).
