Abstract
The purpose of this presentation was to collect staff and student preference data while training them to assist in similar data collection in villages. Objectives were to introduce LI-BIRD and IAAS staff and students to Analytic Hierarchy Process, to train them on its use, and to access their preferences for selected conservation agriculture production systems. This preference data is being used to compare extension agent preferences with those of farmers in order to identify knowledge gaps or training deficiencies.
