Building institutional capacity for on-farm research : call system training courses
Tripp, R.
Building institutional capacity for on-farm research : call system training courses - USA : ASA, 1990. - Printed
Peer review
A training program in on-farm research for national agricultural research and extension institutions is described. The training is carried out in a series of 1- to 2-wk meetings over two agricultural seasons, and concerns the application of research techniques in diagnostic surveying, planning, on-farm experimentation, and analysis. It is argued that this type of long-term, hands-on training is not only effective for transferring research methods, but also serves to develop institutional capacities for planning and managing research and extension directed at well-defined client groups. Implications are discussed regarding the organization of interdisciplinary research, the development of linkages between research and extension institutions, the prospects for training in research planning, and the relative merits of problem-oriented training.
