The objectives of this article are to present a methodology for the fast identification of demands for research and extension and the results achieved with it in the three counties where it was tested. The methodology involved focus group meetings and intentional sampling of participants according to pre-established criteria. The extension agents were crucial to accelerate the mobilization of the local network, to explain the objectives of the project “Promotion of sustainable systems for the southeast: a pilot project for technology transfer agenda” and to motivate stakeholders to participate in the identification of demands to the county”. The methodology produced the planned results in the three counties. The objectives were achieved fast, no later than two weeks, even with different strategies being used in the counties. The action of the extension agent was crucial to accelerate the identification of the network, to test the methodology, and to accelerate the methodology with the strategies they used.
