Ontario farmers have been facing challenges of receiving quality and needs-based services due to a lack of coordination and functional networks among agricultural advisory service providers and farmers. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how the current pluralistic advisory system in Ontario facilitates partnerships among relevant actors to provide quality service, and thus drive adoption by the target sectors and individuals in a timely manner. This research aims to map out existing advisory service providers, their networks and partnership mechanisms, and assess organizational capacity, quality of service and the effectiveness of the methods used. This research employs stakeholder analysis, forums, surveys, and workshops and draws on the ‘best-fit’ approach toward assessing pluralistic agricultural advisory services.
