Abstract
There has been an assumption that agricultural research carried out by developed country research institutions would be ultimately transferred to developing countries through national research and extension organizations. In recent years, this paradigm has been increasingly challenged by the increased prominence of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in agricultural development. In this context, the authors investigated U.K. NGOs'access to and perceptions of U.K. expertise in agricultural and environmental science. The article examines the problems most often encountered by NGOs in agricultural development, current sources of advice, links with U.K. science institutions, and their short-term and long-term suggestions for improving NGO-research collaboration
