Despite a certain progress made by R&D process systems since the 1970's, farmers have been little involved in the definition of issues. The issues have been identified, at the best, through diagnoses or through external experts. Producer participation in defining research questions, to set up systems and to implement solutions has been initiated only recently. It is the objective of Action Research-in-Partnership. Our paper addresses this emerging methodology, capable of creating new relationships between researchers, producers and technicians, in a context where new actors (farmer organizations) are not yet fully identified as potential research partners. The objective is therefore to build the partnership and identify the actors. The approach we present reveals a need for researchers, agronomists, animal scientists and socio-economists, to undergo a long and important work of "ripening" to achieve a common language and achieve a common framework for reflection and action, as a multidisciplinary response to the challenge of constructing a common world between researchers and producers to meet both the demand and the emerging social science requirements. In our project the main result was the construction of a Villagers Concertation Committee (CCV), a sort of ethical framework among the partners to formalize contracts to conduct experiments during the action-reseaerch. The CCV has emerged as a place of learning and defining innovation.
