The fundamentals of research-action partnerships in agriculture, and key elements for putting such an approach into practice.
Research-action partnerships combine knowledge production, conversion of social realities and boosting of individual and collective skills. The book describes the fundamentals of research-action partnerships in agriculture and elements for putting such an approach into practice. It underlines the practical as well as the theoretical questions raised by this threefold objective. It is based on a wide range of agricultural experiences in developing countries, which illustrate how practitioners have responded to the challenges of an approach yet to be reinvented depending on the contexts. The book is intended for researchers, rural development technicians and representatives of rural organizations faced with resolving complex problems raised by rural development in the farming systems of developing countries.
