Description This is a reprint from the book entitled “Research Towards Integrated Natural
Resources Management: Examples of Research Problems, Approaches and
Partnerships in Action in the CGIAR” which briefly describes the tools and
methods used in research and development for integrated natural resources
management. They have been evolving over the years in order to tackle the
complexities of farming systems in marginal areas, and the issues of
environmental change in ecoregional research. The integrated farmer-partici-
patory watershed management process involves: agro-ecological zoning,
farming systems research, systems analysis to select best-bet options,
upscaling research results, identification of products with competitive advan-
tage for local and regional markets, and the design and implementation of a
science-based action plan. The plan includes technical assistance, supervised
credit, strengthening communal cohesion through women’s and farmers’
groups, increasing marketing opportunities by concentrating the supply in
quantity and quality, quality control of the products, product development to
add value, and market studies for the products developed. The impact on the
production systems is briefly described
