Economics, often referred to as the "dismal science," is the study of how societies allocate their scarce resources to meet their diverse needs and desires. It forms the intellectual foundation for understanding how individuals, businesses, governments, and societies make choices in the face of limited resources. Economics is not just about numbers and graphs; it's about the fundamental decisions that shape our world. Extension, on the other hand, is the conduit through which knowledge and innovation flow from experts, researchers, and institutions to the grassroots level. It is the bridge that connects the latest advancements in various fields, including agriculture, community development, health, and education, to those who can benefit most from these innovations. Extension professionals are the unsung heroes who empower individuals and communities to make informed choices, adapt to change, and improve their quality of life.
