Assessing the impact of integrated natural resource management (INRM) research poses a challenge to scientists. The complexity of INRM interventions requires a more holistic approach to impact assessment, beyond the plot and farm levels and beyond traditional analysis of economic returns. Impact ...

Natural resource management problems in agriculture often transcend field or farm boundaries. What happens in one part of landscape depends on management practices in another. Pest and disease problems in crops, soil erosion, problems related to quantity and quality of water are all examples of t...
