Abstract: | This book resulted from a workshop held at the University of Sussex in July 1987 on 'Farmers and agricultural research: complementary methods'. It presents a new paradigm and methods for agricultural research, making the case for a farmer-first mode to complement the traditional transfer of technology. Each of the four parts of the book concentrates on a main theme: farmer innovation, methods to enable farmers' agendas to be put first, practical participation by farmers, and the implications for institutions and action.
