Cluster Front Line Demonstrations (CFLDs) are a significant extension approach in the field of agriculture, particularly in India. They are organized by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and various state agricultural universities. CFLDs play a crucial role in disseminating cutting-edge agricultural technologies, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable farming practices among Indian farmers.
