Abstract
Agricultural development at regional level emerges from a review of developments in the Kosi region of Bihar, India, as a dynamic adaptive process, taking difficult to anticipate directions. This is because part of the dynamic force has been provided by endogenous technical and institutional change from within the agricultural system, mostly the result of local informal innovative activity. A flexible administrative response to innovation has also contributed to these developments. A major problem in appraising developments in the Kosi region is to establish exactly what has happened and assess its impact. This provides a pointer to areas in which an enhanced administrative and research capacity is required. A flexible development administration and a strong adaptive agricultural research capability have much to learn from monitoring and exploiting the opportunities indicated by technical developments in the region.
