Abstract
Problems specifically associated with, but not
necessarily limited to. the conduct of a research program
to aid agricultural management of mountainous and highland
areas are discussed. These include: The requirement for
quantified primary information in the design of a successful
research program; The advantage of adopting a partnership
arrangement in providing the necessary long-term continuity
in a research program; The need for timely re-appraisal of
strategic thinking once sufficient results become available;
and, the importance of ensuring that the impact of the
the research process, particularly in socio-economic matters, is
evaluated in a timely manner and takes known climatic
variability fully into account.
