>From a colleague: Are you interested in Farmer Participatory Research? On-farm research? Interdisciplinary agricultural or food systems research? Rural development? Farmer peer and learning groups? Participatory on-farm research or extension? The North American Farming Systems Association, one of six regional associations of the International Farming Systems Association, is being revitalized. We are beginning with a Listserv to share information and questions about projects, programs, events, opportunities, publications, materials, and ideas related to on-farm participatory research, whole farm systems approaches, and farmer learning in the United States, Mexico and Canada. To subscribe to the NA-FSA listserv: E-mail sejohnson AT smallfarm.org. To help get our NA-FSA Listserv started, and build the North American Farming Systems Association, please email a brief summary of your interdisciplinary, on-farm research or farmer participatory development activities or questions related to Farming Systems in North America when you subscribe. To distribute information through the NA-FSA listserv (or with questions or problems subscribing) contact: Sue Ellen Johnson. Telephone: 413-323-4531 or email: sejohnson AT smallfarm.org Farming Systems Research encompasses whole farm, landscape scale and participatory approaches- whatever it takes to get a better, realistic and scientific understanding of the biophysical and human aspects of agricultural production systems. The International Farming Systems Association (IFSA) helps Farming Systems research and development stakeholders share their experiences across disciplinary and national boundaries. Based on twenty five years experience with the study and development of farming systems at the farm level, the International Farming Systems Association now extends its focus to all of the factors that effect farming systems, including those beyond the farm gate, including local and global policy. IFSA and NA-FSA share the goal of providing and improving opportunities, services, and technology for small scale, sustainable farms and farming families. To learn more about the International Farming Systems Association, and the new IFSA E- journal see the web: http://www.fao.org/farmingsystems/ifsa_en.htm (available in English, Spanish and French) Please forward this message to interested academic, extension, non-profit, industry and farmer colleagues! |
