Agricultural extension in Ethiopia can help reduce poverty and hunger by improving food crop diversity and farmers' livelihoods. By providing training, workshops, and support, extension services positively impact crop diversity. Effective regulation and NGO involvement are key. Farmers benefit from access to new technologies, credit, and market information. Cooperatives can enhance extension services for better crop quality and quantity. Livelihoods are influenced by government policies and training in crop production and resource management. Smallholder farmers can improve crop diversity and livelihoods with the help of agricultural extension programs.
