Characteristics of FSR

a. Holistic perspective: FSR views the whole farm as production unit and the household as consumption unit.

 

b. Interdisciplinary co-operation: A farming system, like all system is an aggregate made up of interconnected components functioning together as coordinated parts.

 

 

c. FSR – Commodity research linkage: As technical production problem are identified for each subsystem, FSR seeks solutions in one form of technologies generated by previous commodity research which was conducted on stations.

 

d. Research extension linkage: FSR in extension is needed to accurately describe farming system and diagnose the problems and design and test new technologies at the farm level.

 

e. Farmer’s participation: FSR fundamental objective is to make technology generation more relevant to the goals, their needs and priorities.

 

f. Problem solving approach: It is essentially operational research which identifies technical, biological and socio economic constraints at the farm level and then endeavors to develop technologies, which are feasible for the targeted farming households to adopt and alleviate those constraints.
