While traditions are very important to a culture, there is a need
to challenge, as well as to respect, those traditions that have
given rise to a particular rural research and development system.
The authors examine the broad themes of "knowledge transfer" and
the organization and conduct of research and development, based
particularly on the system operating in the rangelands of
Australia. The need to adopt a novel approach arose because the
existing practice of agricultural extension did not meet the needs
of the farming community there, and the funding bodies were
dissatisfied with the return on their investment. The way in which
the relationship between the rural community and researchers might
be differently, and perhaps more fruitfully, managed are discussed.
The issues addressed have relevance in a wider context and, as a
result, this book will be of importance to any professional
involved in agricultural management and policy making.
