This original RAP song, written and performed by Dr. Botir Dosov, highlights the vital role of farmers and the unsung heroes of the field — the extensionists. As the climate changes and challenges grow, rural advisory services (RAS) become ever more crucial in supporting farmers with knowledge, tools, and hope.
The lyrics voice the farmer’s struggle, resilience, and dignity — and elevate the importance of extension services in achieving food security, climate resilience, and sustainable agricultural development. The beat may be modern, but the message is timeless: support those who feed the world.
This video was produced as part of advocacy for smarter, farmer-centered innovations and investment in agricultural knowledge systems.
