Description

On 25 July 1974, Afghan authorities approved an agricultural extension program to support farmers with modern cultivation techniques. Specialists traveled to villages to teach soil improvement, crop rotation, and pest management. The program helped bridge the gap between scientific research and rural practice. Demonstration plots were established to compare traditional and improved methods. The initiative contributed to rising agricultural productivity during the mid-1970s.
