Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural
Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
indepth
exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However, the
citations are a
substantial resource for recent investigations on a given topic.
They also serve
the purpose of bringing the literature of agriculture to the
interested user who,
in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
searches of the
AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and evidence of extensive
interest are
the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the
Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as
endorsement or disapproval.

Abstract: Agricultural science is a complex and multidisciplinary
field that
represents the vital link between human (socioeconomic) systems and
the natural
environment. Development of effective strategies for efficient farm
resource
allocation and management requires a general understanding of the
fundamental
components of farming systems and their interactions, and properly
begins with the
analysis of farm manager goals and limitations. This article
defines important
systems concepts and discusses the role of systems theory in
agricultural research
and problem solving. In addition, several agricultural systems
examples are
described and a systems method is used to identify and discuss the
components and
general goals of agricultural systems. We believe to the extent
that it is
utilized, systems theory provides a powerful toot to assist those
involved in
agricultural research, education, and production in understanding
complex
interactions among system components and component technologies,
and in
identifying and prioritizing information or research needs.

Abstract: Extract: A farming system is defined as a human group
and the resources
and environment that it manages in producing plant and/or animal
products to meet
its direct or perceived needs for sustenance and quality of life.
Farming Systems
Research may be defined as a systematic analysis of farming
systems, including
their similarities and dissimilarities. The purpose of farming
systems research
is to study farms with similar and/or different environments, crops
and/or animals
and production practices to see how they meet demands for perceived
human needs
and quality of life.

Abstract: Extract: This paper attempts to define and discuss
Farming Systems
Research (FSR) in a somewhat narrow sense as to how the MSU Task
Force may be able
to progress in a meaningful and practical manner. In the arena of
agriculture and
food production, in which Title XII is involved, there are basic
requirements for
professionals from four disciplines; (1) biology (2) physical
technology, (3)
economics and (4) sociology. The FSR approach is focused towards
the farm family
and the family farmer.

Abstract: Extract: It is obvious that the animal production
discipline needs
access to the social scientist for knowledge of methods of
describing and
evaluating human systems, to the economist for methods and measures
of financial
and economic flows, and to other technologies in which soil/plant
nutrient
relationships are involved.

Abstract: Extract: In this paper, we discuss Farming Systems
Research which has
the following characteristics: (a) It aims to generate technology
to increase
resource productivity for an identified group of farmers,
especially in the short
term. (b) It is conceptually based on a farming systems
perspective. (c) It uses
on-farm research methods. Taking the viewpoint of national
agricultural research
programs, we argue that this specific subset of research activities
should receive
priority in efforts to improve the effectiveness of agricultural
research.

Abstract: Extract: The farming systems research approach is
consistent with
current notions of rural and economic development as articulated in
equitability,
local participation, and employment generation. As yet, however,
perhaps mainly
because it is largely in the developmental stage, the farming
systems research
process has not been firmly established as an efficient way to
improve the
livelihood of the majority of small farmers. I believe that the
future in theLDCs
is now more promising than previously, in that we in the high
income countries are
at least shedding some of our cultural arrogance. To paraphrase the
words of a
wise Islamic scholar, Alhaji Junaidu, sound development must build
upon rather
than destroy the farmers' traditional techniques.

Abstract: A technical report discusses some of the
nutrition-related problems
that occur when new technologies are introduced into traditional
agriculture
systems, and suggests ways in which the impact of these new
technologies on the
nutritional status of the farm family might be assessed.
Information in 2 specific
areas is reviewed, viz.: (1) the impact of changing agricultural
systems on
traditional farm households concerning the enhancement of food
production for
meeting increased food consumption needs on the traditional farm
household; and
(2) research findings concerning indicators of nutritional change
used in farming
systems research, and the argument that such indicators must be
simple an easy to
interpret. It is stressed that nutrition concerns of farming
systems research
should focus on family food supply and intra-household food
distribution.

Abstract: Extract: Farming systems research (FSR), in its broadest
sense,
involves the application of the systems perspective to the study of
a farm. The
purposes of such research could vary from a broad understanding of
system
functions to understanding a narrow subset of particular
interactions. Thus, it
encompasses any research concerned with a farming subsystem or the
whole farm
system.

Abstract: An overview paper examines ways in which increasing
farming systems
research interests might contribute to resolving nutritional
problems,
particularly in rural areas. A set of research procedures, known as
on-farm
research (OFR), that derive from a concern about the effectiveness
of traditional
agricultural research and development are presented. Emphasis is
placed on
conceptual issues in OFR of common interest to nutrition and
agriculture;
procedural implications; and possible courses of action by national
agricultural
research and nutrition institutions. (wz)

Improvement Center's (CIMMYT) wheat and maize programmes in
developing research
methodologies to ensure that agricultural technologies generated by
scarce
research resources are consistent with the circumstances of target
farmers. It
emphasizes collaboration of technical and social scientists in on-
farm research--
both in diagnosing farmers' problems and demands for technology and
in developing
and testing in farmers' fields those technologies which appear to
meet these
problems."

Abstract: Extract: While the role of technical change in
agriculture is seen
differently by protagonists of different theories of development,
the processes
of technology generation and uptake are widely seen as progressive.
In this vein,
agricultural technology assessment is seen as contributing to
research policy and
management and also to the formulation, monitoring and evaluation
of broader rural
development policies and programs. A need for both farm-level and
aggregate-level
assessents is identified, and methods applied at each level are
reviewed. At the
farm level, some insights are provided by the farming systems
research approach
leading to recognition of a changed role for economists in
farm-level impact
assessment. At the aggregate level, the problems of tracing out all
the important
consequences of a technical innovation can be severe. Analysts will
generally need
to account for general equilibrium effects, distorted prices and
welfare
considerations, as well as the dynamic interaction between
technology and
institutions. In the light of the discussion, an agenda of
unfinished business for
agricultural economists is suggested.

Abstract: Extract: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate
that research
tools that concentrate on productivity and ignore stability and
sustainability do
not serve the needs of small farmers. Field results from Northern
Thailand are
used to document the necessity to consider long-term as well as
short-term
economic and environmental impacts.
