Description
The role of participatory research and extension in stimulating farmer uptake and adaptation of beneficial technologies has been demonstrated over the last two decades in both developed and developing countries. The challenge is to move beyond simply trialling new technologies with farmers on a small scale to enabling significant livelihood impacts across larger numbers of households, villages and districts. This paper presents results of a project in Lao PDR exploring ways to accelerate and spread localised impacts in complex upland farming systems.
