To help integrated natural resource management research "deliver the goods" for many of the world's poor over a large area and in a timely manner, the authors suggest a problem solving approach that facilitates the scaling out of relevant agricultural practices. They propose 7 ways to foster scaling out: develop more attractive practices and technologies through participatory research; balance supply-driven approaches with resource-user demands; use feedback to redefine the research agenda; encourage support groups and networks for information sharing; facilitate negotiation among stakeholders; inform policy change and institutional development; and make sensible use of information management tools, including models and geographic information systems (GIS). They also draw on experiences in Mesoamerica, South Asia, and southern Africa to describe useful information management tools, including site similarity analyses, the linking of simulation models with GIS, and the use of farmer and land type categories.
