Abstract

Since its creation and introduction in Brazil, in the 1990s, the web has aroused interest as a means of communication, information, and interaction between people, institutions, and professionals from different areas, including the rural extension and agricultural research. The objective of this study was to analyze how the web can contribute as a training tool in the context of the rural extension. Among the results, the web is postulated as a new training space for the rural extension. Rural extensionists believe on the possibility of distance training in the near future; however, the incentive given by the institutions of technical assistance for the rural extension (ATERs) is still low.
