INTERPAKS, In: D.F. Cusack, ed. Agroclimate information for development : reviving the Green Revolution. Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1983. p. 313-329., Addresses the challenges of the information revolution with particular emphasis on using agroclimate information for agricultural development: 1) how to sort out and organize the information already available; 2) how to identify and collect the right kinds of information; 3) how to absorb, analyze, and interpret the information; and 4) how to put it to work for the benefit of humankind. Presents a model of process approach by which agroclimate information may be transferred to benefit agricultural development.

Notes:
Kerry J. Byrnes Collection, United States Agency for International Development. A.I.D. evaluation special study, no. 67. 43 pages., A.I.D.'s experience with farming systems research and extension (FSR/E) has been mixed. FSR/E projects have provided opportunities for developing country professionals to acquire training and field experience in this new approach to research. However, most projects have bot had the impact on technology development and transfer or institutionalization of FSR/E as had been assumed in project designs. This report, based on a case study review of evaluations of 12 A.I.D.-funded projects, synthesizes the Agency's experience with FSR/E from the mid-1970's to the mid-1980's and assesses the impact of these projects on agricultural development.

(draft manuscript). 45 p., Explores the relationship between research and extension systems. Details the factors determining the utilization of research results as well as the importance of the feedback mechanisms. Presents examples of approaches to improve linkages between research and extension, such as on-farm trials, farming systems research, and use of extension technical liaison personnel. The final section discusses complementarity between research and extension and provides suggestions toward facilitating cooperation between the two organizations.
