Description Report of TAC 42 held in Rome, March 16-23, 1987, Professor Guy Camus presiding.

Revised versions would be considered together with MTPs of CIP, IBPGR , and ILRAD at TAC 43.TAC prepared a commentary on the outcome of the 1986 Inter-Center Workshop on Farming Systems Research, for discussion at a CGIAR/French seminar at the mid-term meeting of the CGIAR in Montpellier.
