This has socioeconomic and biophysical  implications. Traditional component and commodity research addresses  overly narrow issues at too small a scale. Rural development needs an  eco-regional approach that integrates biophysical and socioeconomic  work on cropping systems, livestock, the environment, and natural  resources. \u003cbr\u003e  This book contains the papers, response papers and discussion report  of a five-day seminar on eco-regional approaches. It assesses the  state of the art of systems approaches applied to eco-regional  problems, presenting and discussing a number of case studies. Future  research needs are discussed, as well as ways to improve collaboration  between research institutes. \u003cbr\u003e  The seminar on which the book is based was organised on behalf of the  Directorate General for International Cooperation of the Netherlands  Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Research Institute for Agrobiology  and Soil Fertility (AB-DLO), the Wageningen Agricultural University  (WAU), and the International Potato Centre (CIP). It was held at the  International Service for National Agricultural Research (ISNAR), and  was attended by participants from all CGIAR centres, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792336082\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-0121-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 507\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311980728460,"sku":"9780792336082","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792336082.jpg?v=1771515588","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792336082","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
