| The following reports a consultation of organic farming research priorities in the UK in 2001. The information was collated by Organic Centre Wales, Institute of Rural Studies, University of Wales, Aberystwyth on behalf of MAFF organic farming unit and UKROFS A total of 62 responses received, of which 24 from farmers, 12 from researchers and research organisations and 26 from organic producers and other farming organisations Information on ongoing research was derived from the MAFF 2001 organic farming research review, SERAD listing of organic farming projects and MAFF project OFO171, Review of current European research on organic farming. |

| Organic Agriculture (OA) is a reply to Global Society‘s interest in food safety and enviromental conservation. Many European countries have significantly developed the OA sector, where Organic Animal Farming (OAF) systems hold a major part. Since, OA principles, methods and products are constantly evolving, an increasing number of agricultural agencies are using Web sites or portals to provide OA information to stakeholders. However, finding trustworthy information on OA is still time consuming, fragmented and associated with linguistic obstacles. This paper reports a new on-line service that provides (a) access to multilingual, specialized, updated and certified on-line information covering all OA plant and animal production aspects, (b) access to... |

| This is the final report of Defra project 0F0171. This text has been extracted from the Executive Summary at the start of the attached report. In support of its policy to expand organic farming, MAFF sponsors a programme of research and extension (through Organic Conversion Information Service) to provide information to producers on organic systems of production. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive framework which sets out clearly the content and key results of current European research programmes. The overall objective was to increase the body of knowledge and information available to UK producers and extension workers, and to help direct UK research effort. The priority was to examine northern and western European research... |

| This study was conducted to gain an understanding of how small-scale farmers in Mbeya District have adopted improved wheat technologies promoted by the wheat research program at MARTI-Uyole. The specific objectives were to assess farmers’ wheat management practices, determine the technical and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of improved wheat technologies, and draw implications for research, extension, and policy. A purposive multistage sampling procedure was used to select 202 farmers, 160 from Tembela Division and 42 from Isangati Division, which are two important wheat-growing areas in Mbeya District. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires and supplemented by secondary information obtained from MARTI-Uyole. Juhudi was... |

| Maize is the major food crop grown in the coastal region of Kenya and constitutes a major component of the diet of the population in the region. However, average yields are far below the potential for the region and low production levels create serious food deficits. Over the years, new technologies have been introduced but adoption has remained low, especially for fertilizer. This paper examined current maize-farming practices and technological and socioeconomic factors that influenced adoption in the Kilifi and Kwale Districts of the Coast Province, that together account for half of maize production in the region. The study found low adoption levels for improved maize varieties and technology, especially fertilizer, among farmers in the area. Farmers... |

| A natureza intrínseca dos solos da região do Juruá e as condições atuais de manejo às quais esses solos estão submetidos aceleram ainda mais a redução contínua de sua qualidade física e química, exigindo uma solução técnica para reverter essa situação. Uma alternativa de solução técnica para as condições atuais da produção familiar no Juruá compreende o manejo das áreas já desmatadas, queimadas e cultivadas com tecnologias que permitam a recuperação e manutenção da qualidade do solo, com ganhos agronômicos, econômicos e ambientais. Um aspecto relevante é que a recuperação e manutenção da qualidade do solo podem contribuir de forma direta e/ou indireta para a redução do desmatamento e eliminação do uso do fogo na produção familiar da região. Os resultados... |

| Röling and others argue that research and extension should not be seen as separate processes involving distinct institutions which must somehow be linked. Rather, scientists, specialists, extension workers, consultants and producers should be seen as participants in a single agricultural knowledge and information system (AKIS). This perspective on research, extension and adoption as activities that occur within a network offers new insights into the way in which technology transfer occurs, and new ideas as to how to increase the rate of adoption of new ideas and techniques in farming. In this study, we use network management theory and applied network analysis to operationalise the concept of an AKIS and to test the relationships between system... |

| For organic farming to be adopted it should be simple, understandable in its concept and easy to practise. In this research, results show that the adoption of organic farming in Jordan is perceived as a complex issue surrounded by uncertainty and not easy to practise. Therefore, this paper suggests an action plan to help the government of Jordan, and other countries to promote and ease the adoption of organic farming. |

| Under the TRIPs Agreement, all member-countries of the World Trade Organization are required to provide an "effective" system of plant variety protection within a specific time frame. In many developing countries this has led to a divisive debate about the fundamental desirability of extending intellectual property rights to agriculture. But empirical studies on the economic impacts of PVP, especially its ability to generate large private sector investments in plant breeding and facilitate the transfer of technology, have been very limited. This paper examines two aspects of the international experience of PVP legislation thus far (i) The relationship between legislation, R&D expenditures and PVP grants, i.e., the innovation effect, and (ii) The role... |

| A pecuária de corte é a atividade com maior expressão econômica do setor agropecuário do Estado do Acre, representando aproximadamente 40% do valor bruto da produção. Contudo, sistemas de produção caracterizados como tradicionais, que apresentam baixos índices zootécnicos, predominam na maior parte das pequenas, médias e grandes propriedades. Consequentemente, o setor apresenta baixa produtividade e rentabilidade e tem causado impactos ambientais negativos decorrentes de desmatamentos, que implicam em perda de biodiversidade e degradação dos solos. Observa-se que a retração da atividade é ocasionada por diversos fatores, com destaque para medidas voltadas à redução nas taxas de desmatamento, o que limita a expansão das áreas de pastagens, e para a baixa... |

| Interdisciplinary approaches developed concerning the conversion to organic farming show that the types of conversion trajectories can be differentiated on the basis of the progression of crop protection changes within a larger framework where relationships to other “objects” are transformed – the soil, products, rotations, work organisation, marketing, social networks and knowledge acquisition. In the case of integrated plant production, the extent of changes depends on the degree of recomposition of agronomic practices. This transition implies major knowledge acquisition that relies on the support and contribution of advisors and on the group dynamics that develop within a group of farmers. Transitions towards integrated crop protection are, by their... |
