Abstract

Bu derlemede tarımsal araştırma için bir yaklaşım şekli olan Çiftçilik Sistemleri Araştırması (ÇSA) ele alınmıştır. Çalışma ÇSA üzerinde literatür incelemesine dayanmaktadır. Makalede, ÇSA’nın ne olduğunu ortaya koyabilmek için ÇSA konusundaki literatür gözden geçirilmiştir. Literatürde, ÇSA adı altında birbirinden oldukça değişik yaklaşımlar sözkonusudur. Bu yaklaşım farklılıklarının genellikle ÇSA’nın farklı bir şekilde anlaşılmasından kaynaklandığı söylenebilir. Birçok araştırıcı ÇSA konusunda aynı kelimelerle aslında farklı şeylerden bahsetmektedir. Bununla birlikte ÇSA’m ele alanlar arasında, ÇSA’nın ne olduğu ve özellikle bu yaklaşımın araştırma yöntemleri ve önemli kavranılan konusunda bir uyum bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemeden elde edilen sonuçlara göre; ÇSA yeni bir araştırma ya da kalkınma stratejisi olarak değil, tanmsal araştırma için bir yaklaşım veya filozofi olarak kabul edilmelidir.

Farming Systems Research (FSR): An Approach to Agricultural Research for Small Farmers

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of Farming Systems Research (FSR) as an approach to agricultural research. This paper based on a literature review. These documents have been reviewed within a wider framework which seeks to explore the scope of FSR and institutionalisation of this approach to existing research systems. There are diverse approaches employed under the label of FSR. These differences mainly derive from different people’s understanding of FSR. Many observers are using the same words to mean different things. However, there is largely a consensus on what FSR is particularly in key concepts and research procedures. Given the literature review of FSR, it is strongly recommended that FSR needs to be considered as an approach or philosophy to agricultural research instead of as a type of research or development strategy.
