ILEIA Newsletter: 15 Years ILEIA - 01.01.1998

Participatory Technology Development In Sustainable Agriculture, ILEIA Workshop - 01.01.1989

This ILE|A workshop may be seen as a follow up of the workshop organized by the Institute for Development Studies, lDS, in Sussex, in June 1987: Farmers and Agricultural Research: Complementary methods. During the IDS workshop it was recommended that a number of regional meetings and workshops in the third world should be organised in order to link and exchange regional experiences in the field of farmer participation in technology development.

The ILEIA workshop was an intermediate step between the IDS workshop and the regionalworkshops; lt provided the opportunities

  • To make a more comprehensive inventory and assessment of the existing experiences
  • To agree on a format for describing practical methods and
  • To formulate a strategy for the further development of the methods of participatory technology development.

Let Farmers Judge - 01.01.1992

This reader is a follow-up to that workshop. It is a collection of papers on the theme of assessing sustainability in agriculture. The collection is divided into four parts. Following an introductory theme paper (Part I), the papers in Part II discuss the conceptual framework for assessment. Part III examines specific methodological issues, with the emphasis on farmers' assessment criteria. Part IV contains case studies comparing the performance of environmentally friendly farming practices and systems with that of conventional (high-external-input) agriculture.

Farmer's Research in Practice: Lessons From the Field - 01.01.1997

This book is about farmers' own research. In many parts of the world, farmers are seeking ways to improve their farming systems and to adapt their practices to changing agroecological and socioeconomic conditions. The contributions to this book give evidence of how farmers adopt, adapt and formulate new ideas and innovations, try them out in different settings, evaluate and assess the results, and make decisions about their potential value for improving the way they farm. All of these experiments, no matter what methods they employ, are refened to here as farmers' agricultural research. This is a considerable expansion of the conventional understanding of agricultural research, which is usually limited to scientifically designed, highly methodological and closely controlled experiments and investigations carried out on national and international agricultural research stations and in the field.
