International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics
Abstract
This note is intended to serve as a basis for a
thorough discussion about the role of an International Institute
such as ICRISAT in the area of Farming Systems Research. As such
it is very tentative and the ideas expressed need scrutiny,
qualification and amplification by researchers inside and outside
of the International system. However the issues involved are of
extreme importance for the successful allocation of research
resources and research tasks within the international system and
between the national and international systems
