Paperback. This book is the first to offer an introduction to participatory research for livestock development. Despite the attention paid to participatory research methodologies in other areas of agricultural development, participatory livestock work has been relatively neglected despite the evident relevance of and demand for such approaches. This book will bring livestock researchers and practitioners up to date with the latest and best practice in participatory research. Participatory Livestock Research will help researchers and practitioners to overcome the potential difficulties associated with participatory livestock research. The book shows how a participatory approach to technology development can be successful. It also shows how to undertake needs assessment using participatory approaches, and how to avoid the problems associated with on-farm livestock experiments.Participatory Livestock Research is essential reading for all those involved in livestock research and will be also be of interest to workers and researchers interested in wider agricultural development issues in universities, national agricultural research systems and NGOs, and extension workers and practitioners in agricultural service agencies. This book is intended to help livestock researchers and practitioners to overcome the potential difficulties associated with participatory livestock research and is aimed at: livestock and rangeland researchers; extensionists and practitioners of livestock development (in livestock service agencies and NGOs).

Riassunto:

* provides guidance on how to take a participatory approach
to needs assessment

* shows how to conduct participatory technology development while avoiding or minimizing problems associated with on-farm livestock experiments

illustrates how a participatory approach to technology development
can be applied effectively, drawing on the experiences of a wide range of successful projects

Livestock research and development work has tended to lag behind crop production work in the development and application of methods for participatory technology development. However, the case for participatory research is just as strong in relation to livestock as it is in relation to crops; and there has been increasing recognition that livestock research needs to give greater emphasis to farmer participation. This book is intended to help livestock researchers and practitioners to overcome the potential difficulties associated with participatory livestock research.

The book is aimed at: livestock and rangeland researchers (in national agricultural research systems, universities and NGOs); extensionists and practitioners of livestock development (in livestock service agencies and NGOs).
