many farmers to potentially demand and manage the delivery of agricultural advisory services (e.g., enterprises, technologies, practices, and information) that meet their local production and market conditions. Therefore, assum- ing that membership in a NAADS farmer group confers these benefits on the members of the group, participation in the program should have a positive impact on the outcome variables. But we have seen that participation in group activities is not always commensurate with the power it is supposed to bring to farmers to effectively demand advisory services, suggesting that participating farmers may be limited in achieving the expected outcomes of the program. Analyzing the association between participation in the program and several outcome variables is the focus of the next chapter.
