This collection offers a comprehensive view of the commonalities and diversities of the farming systems research and development (FSR&D) approaches being applied around the world. The authors–among the leading practitioners in FSR&D–discuss conceptual frameworks, research methodology, data collection, and several ongoing FSR&D programs. The book is a must for anyone interested in gaining a concise, yet broad view of this new and growing field of research and its importance to small-scale farming in developing countries.

Dr. Shaner, project director of the Farming Systems Research and Development Methodology Project and associate professor of engineering at Colorado State University, has been chief economic advisor to the Technical Agency, Ministry of Planning, Ethiopia, and associate director of the Consortium for International Development.
