Developing agricultural solutions with smallholder farmers: how to get started with participatory approaches
As farming in Ethiopia is heavily dependent on animal traction, technologies that are based on this power source were envisaged to be appropriate for better management of Vertisols. Hence, the Joint Vertisol Project (JVP) began research on improved Vertisol technology that included 1) the use of ...
Dissemination or extension of technologies among the farmers is a complex issue. More often than not the scientists, having developed and tested the technologies, are not able to transfer these to the farmers widely. W hy the farmer is not ready to adopt the new technology is an issue that haunts...
The major thrust of the West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) has been on the development of early and extra-early maize varieties and associated agronomic practices. Adoption of these varieties and, to some extent, the complementary agronomic practices by farmers...

In 1986 the project in Peru concentrated on 3 main activities: genetic improvement, seed production, and scientific training. The most significant advances in the coastal region consisted of the introduction of 35 advanced Canario type, BCMV-resistant bean lines. These lines were also evaluated i...
