Abstract
The aim of the paper is to give a current overview of farming systems research (FSR). The coverage of FSR topics is sufficiently in-depth to allow an understanding of FSR concepts and operational procedures. Initially, a description of the basic concepts of the farming systems research approach and a farming systems perspective are presented. The operational stages of conducting FSR are listed and discussed under the headings of:(1) Delineation of recommendation domains; (2) the descriptive and diagnostic stage; (3) the research design stage; (4) the on-farm testing and evaluation stage and (5) the dissemination and monitoring stage. The description and discussion of the farming systems approach is followed by a discussion on the related FSR topics of: (1) The differences between experimental station and on-farm trials; (2) the evaluation of on-farm technology performance and (3) the stepwise adoption process of farmers.
