Agriculture is an urgent priority worldwide and farmers in the developing world find themselves in the front line of some of the world´s most pressing issues – climate change, globalization and food security. This publication is essential reading for students, policy makers, agricultural scientists and social scientists aiming to bring the concerns of grassroots farmers to the fore. Unlike other books, which disregard the needs of the people they deal with, this publication offers a new bottom-up approach to the topic. It helps the reader to gain a valuable insight in agriculture which and is as well appropriate to farmer´s social, physical and economic needs. The book presents accounts of Farmer First workshops at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), University of Sussex, UK and summarizes successes as well as failures and the lessons that have been learned. Agricultural innovation now takes place less within national public-sector and research organizations and more in diversified public-private systems. Therefore this book asks: How do farmers engage in these public and private systems? In the context of increasingly globalized and complex agricultural supply chains, how do farmers take part in the policy processes defining access to markets, and to agricultural research and development.
