Participatory research (PR) at CIP with potato farming systems in the Andes: evolution and prospects por Ortíz, O., Thiele, Graham, Nelson, R., Bentley, J.W.

“…The ideas were of great influence at CIP and beyond. (2) With integrated pest management (IPM) pilot areas in the early 1990s, entomologists and social scientists developed technologies with farmers in Peru and other countries to control insect pests. Households that adopted just some of the techniques enjoyed high economic returns, and this showed the importance of IPM specialists, social scientists, and farmers working together. (3) Farmer field school (FFS) was adapted for participatory research in the 2000s. …”
