dc.description.abstractFarming systems research (FSR) has evolved into a participatory approach uniquely suited for addressing the technical and institutional challenges associated with regional development. This report summarizes its’ evolution over 35 years, from on-farm research directed at single commodities or factors of production, to cropping and farming systems research that lend themselves to include watershed management and ecoregional research. The authors focus on several key changes in the practice of FSR, such as the effect of broadening research boundaries and the inclusion of environmental and health concerns in the research agenda.en
