The process of change to sustainable farming practices

2000

Park, J. | Keatinge, J.D.H.

The sustainability of agricultural systems is under scrutiny in many parts of the world. In the European Union farming systems are increasingly subject to legislation aimed at controlling production or the environment. Against this background a wide range of research is being undertaken into new or alternative land use systems. In this paper it is argued that sustainability in effect provides parameters for this process of change. Therefore, one of the roles of researchers is to high light the options for change available to farmers and to suggest to policy makers the likelihood and ways of improving the uptake of desirable farming practices. Examples are drawn from a variety of research being undertaken in Agricultural Systems at the University of Reading. It is concluded that a systems approach must be an integral part of progress towards increasingly sustainable farming practices and to achieve this agricultural universities must maintain a strong systems research and teaching commitment.

Economic considerations of policy issues associated with technology transfer in rural development

1990

Rola, L.R. | Peria, A. (Philippines Univ., Los Banos, College, Laguna (Philippines). Coll. of Economics and Management)

This paper looks into the Masagana 99 Rice Production Program to identify policy issues associated with technology transfer in rural development, determine and evaluate the economic implications of policy issues and identify research training concerns. After considering the issues, the author presents two major conclusions: 1. That Masagana 99's short-run goals and objectives focused only on increased production and productivity but overlooked the well-being of primary beneficiaries of development in terms of income, employment, education, health, participation on involvement in the program, and many others. 2. That Masagana 99 implementors failed to provide credit, marketing and processing, and technical support services. The author proceeds to present an estimate of the probable cost necessary to correct the above inefficiencies.

Socio-cultural considerations of policy issues associated with technology transfer in rural development

1990

Sison, O.F. (Philippines Univ., Los Banos, College, Laguna (Philippines). Dept. of Agricultural Education and Rural Studies)

This paper presents the consequences of technology transfer, identifies policy issues/research concerns associated with technology transfer in rural development and identifies socio-cultural areas of concern in the training of extension workers involved in technology transfer activities. Using as basis for analysis, the author looks into the transfer of Azolla technology, hybrid seed production, Masagana 99 package of technology, farm mechanization, and introduction of post-production technology. After studying the above technology transfer activities, the author recommends the following: a) for any technology transfer activity, a state of the art of technology development and transfer must be made available so that a thorough analysis on the social aspects can be made. b) a feedback mechanism to create awareness on socio-cultural dimensions of policy issues associated with technology transfer in rural development must be created. c) a training program for the change agents who will be involved in the technology transfer activities should be developed. d) piloting of a technology at the micro level before nationwide scale promotion should be encouraged. e) a greater number of farmers in technology development and transfer should be involved particularly with regard to decision making.
