AbstractExtension of agricultural technology is important for farmers to improve their practices. However, criticisms are made of top‐down extension systems, which fail to meet smallholder farmers' needs due to reliance on a linear, one‐way transfer approach. Meanwhile, the role of farmers' knowledge is gaining attention in the academic literature on agricultural extension, but yet overlooked in the applied Chinese context. These issues require a holistic analysis, towards, which systems principles can provide insights. We present a case study of the interaction between the national extension system and smallholder farmers in Guangxi, China. We found that the system constrains the autonomy and capacity of extension officers in implementing activities. Also, farmers actively exercise agency in identifying and responding to farming issues. We argue that the system should build the adaptive capacity of officers and farmers by fostering systems thinking to enable smallholder farmers to tackle farming complexity in a changing world.

Divers were tested on three aspects of geographical orientation on land and under water. (1) They traveled blindfold around two sides of a triangle and then attempted to return without guidance to the starting post. On land, subjects walked in a straight line for about the right distance, but tended to turn outside the triangle. Under water, they tended to follow an irregular path, to swim too far, and to turn farther outside the triangle. (2) They attempted to travel various estimated distances. Novices tended to swim too far under water and to show high variability. More experienced divers usually swam for the correct distance. Estimates on land were fairly accurate for all subjects. (3) They attempted to walk or swim blindfolded in a complete circle or part of a circle. They traveled too far on land, and too short under water. Errors were not a simple function of the angle turned, but increased with the radius of the circle.
