This study discusses the role of agricultural extension systems in the development of Georgian agriculture. The aim of the work is to explain the functions of extension systems and their impact on the historical stages of agriculture, especially during the Soviet period and after independence. Archival material, statistical data and scientific literature are used to assess the development, changes and modern challenges of the systems. The study found that extension systems have made a significant contribution to the dissemination of agricultural knowledge and technologies, increasing production and strengthening the involvement of the rural population. In addition, the challenges that arose in the development of the systems have demonstrated the importance of their role in the vision of a sustainable and innovative agriculture for the future. The work is the basis for state policy and scientific research to determine and implement strategic directions of agricultural development.
