How does one design, implement and evaluate participative
agriculture research? Taking farming systems research as a point of
departure, and with the objective of developing monitoring and
evaluation guidelines, the authors of this volume describe and
critique how farmer participatory research is presently being used
within a broad range of agricultural research and development
programmes.;A guiding principle for farmer participatory research
is the assumption that farmers engage in their own research.
However, the study highlights the fact that processes of local
experimentation are still inadequately understood, and neither
research objectives or research activities appear to be based on an
analysis of the characteristics of existing farmer experimentation.
This prevents the establishment of a collegiate interface between
farmers and researchers.;The authors suggest that a priority is the
linkage of project objectives with implementation strategies. To
this end they provide a conceptual and methodological framework for
the analysis of farmers' experimentation and local information
exchange. Using this as a base, more appropriate project designs
and monitoring and evaluation strategies will be possible.
