[Establishing a two-way flow of information between farmer and researcher in connection with surveys on the breeding of small ruminants in the northern part of Upper Volta.], INTERPAKS, Paris, France: Institut d'Elevage et de Medecine Veterinaire de Pays Tropicaux, 1981. (Paper prepared as working document no. 4 for the Workshop on Linkages Between Agricultural Research and Farmers in Developing Countries, May 13-14, 1981, Paris, France, sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.) 4 p., Describes the development of a methodology for establishing a two-way flow of information between small farmers and researchers, mainly to communicate to researchers the farmers' needs and requests. The approach uses investigators, many from the health services, who were given one week's prior training by the researchers. The researchers periodically checked the information collected by joining them on field trips. The data collected were processed by computer. The resulting system insured two-way flow of information linking local staff and researchers with regular transfer of information. Includes the complete questionnaire used in the project.

- Reisner, INTERPAKS, Information flow among research and extension organizations has traditionally been portrayed as emanating from the research system. An alternative perspective of information flow in the research and extension system expands the number of participants in the model to include farmers, agribusiness people, legislators, government officials, and scientists. This perspective adds three dimensions previously neglected: the researcher is seen as producing research in response to demands of clients; it is recognized that some clients have more access to the research system than others; diffusion is seen largely as giving certain clients what they initially requested. This perspective is illustrated by the information flows that must take place in sorghum research.
