Long-Term Vs. Short-Term Economic And Resource Considerations In Farming Systems Research

Abstract

Farming system research (FSR) is presently being promoted as a more appropriate research tool for agricultural development in LDQ's. However, FSR has tended to concentrate on rapid, short-term gains. Data from Northern Thailand are used to demonstrate that increased yields do not necessarily ensure sustainability over time. Agroecosystems analysis combined with FSR can facilitate development of long-term sustainable technologies.
