Can someone please help to differentiate between Agricultural extension and agricultural economist. God bless you as you enlighten a brother

Agricultural extension is a general term
meaning the application of scientific research
and new knowledge to agricultural practices
through farmer education. The field of
'extension' now encompasses a wider range of
communication and learning activities
organized for rural people by educators from
different disciplines, including agriculture ,
agricultural marketing , health , and business
studies.

Agricultural economics originally applied the
principles of economics to the production of
crops and livestock — a discipline known as
agronomics. Agronomics was a branch of
economics that specifically dealt with land
usage . It focused on maximizing the crop yield
while maintaining a good soil ecosystem . Agricultural economist is sm1 that studied or practicing agricultural economics.
