Abstract

The trouble with Farming Systems Research (FSR), is the word in the middle. While most of us are pretty clear when it comes to thinking about what 'farming' is, and about what we mean when we talk about 'research', the notion of' systems' is far more elusive. Farming is what farmers do, and research is what researchers do. And farming research, is research into farming. So where does the systems bit fit in?
