Abstract
SUMMARY: Although viewed as important for on-farm adaptive research, farmer-participation has often been superficial and has not led to meaningful incorporation of farmer perspectives. This paper describes the use of a method involving the understanding of farmers' perceptions in determining priorities for research which integrates the different concerns and contributions of farmers and scientists with the transfer of technology from farmer to farmer.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
