The farming systems perspective and the development of appropriate technology
On-farm research with a farming systems perspective is a subset of FSR that can be used by national agricultural research programs to generate new technology appropriate for representative farmers. OFR/FSP is characterized by two-way linkages with the national policy framework and with experiments station research, and emphasizes an understanding of farmers' circumstances in planning research, including: forming recommendation domains, setting research priorities, and selecting representative sites and farmer-collaborators for on-farm experiments. The procedures for OFR/FSP that were discussed were designed for us by national agricultural research programs with limited resources because these programs must take the leading role in formulating useful recommendations for farmers around the world
