Proceedings of the International Conference on Rural Development Technology : an Integrated Approach, June 21-24, 1977, Bangkok, Thailand. Bangkok, Thailand: Asian Institute of Technology, 1977. p. 15-34., This paper examines what modification, in the concept of planning, would be needed if Districts were to have far more discretion in adopting nationally-conceived programmes to real local needs and also in particular to local initiatives and localised programmes which may emerge from local diagnosis and consultations with farmers. The paper distinguished between executive planning (where the government controls the executive changes, e.g., building a dam) and enabling planning (where the objective is to increase any output by farmers which the government can control or plan in detail because the response of farmers to offers and persuasion is wholly in the discretion of the farmers themselves). The paper considers how plans which must necessarily be made at the centre and proposals which must necessarily come from the farmers can be reconciled. (original)

INTERPAKS, Mimeographed, 1984. Paper presented at the Farming Systems Research Symposium, Kansas State University, October 7-10, 1984. 20 p., Describes Kenya's restructuring of the research and extension network to meet the needs of the majority of small farmers. In order to improve the extension services the government of Kenya adopted the T and V approach to extension. It also became necessary to re-direct agricultural research towards definite goals, related to national needs rather than the customary disciplinary interests. To make the research process more efficient in generating appropriate recommendations for the target group of farmers, the on-farm research with farming systems perspective (OFR/FSP) has been accepted and will be integrated into the research process in Kenya. The major task is that a strong linkage mechanism is established to make sure the limited research and extension resources are utilized efficiently. Concludes with a discussion of the linkage mechanism that could be established within the existing institutional framework to improve the technology generation and dissemination process.

INTERPAKS, In: Report of an exploratory workshop on the role of anthropologists and other social scientists in interdisciplinary teams developing improved food production technology. Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines: International Rice Research Institute, 1982. p. 25-41., Describes how the interdisciplinary team formed by IRRI in 1978 to test and improve IRRI's integrated insect pest management (IPM) technology for farmers tilling small irrigated plots in Southeast Asia developed the technology from an initial Western orientation to its present form. Shows how IPM was tested in two projects in Central Luzon, each comprising five villages - one project "top down", the other "bottom up". Also describes how IPM was introduced in a control area with no attempt to organize farmers. Evaluates only the interdisciplinary research conducted in the "bottom up" villages where the project was the most successful.
