Synopsis

The overall objective of this volume is to show the impact of farming systems research (FSR) activities in Ethiopia on agricultural research and on the development of technologies and policies for small-scale farmers. The work reported is based on research conducted by scientists at the Institute of Agricultural Research, in collaboration with staff from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and the International Livestock Centre for Agrica (ILCA). Ethiopia is one of the few developing countries where FSR activities have been institutionalized and have had an important influence on the development of new technologies for farmers. Consequently, the research results, as well as the policy analysis, methodology and the institutionalization process, will be relevant to researchers and change agents throughout the developing world, whether they be economists, policy-makers or administrators.
