Part of the Global Effort to Tackle Poverty, Hunger and
Environmental Degradation - the CGIAR
From March 3 to 6, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan, Nigeria, hosted the global systems research and development community at the International Conference on Integrated SystemsResearch for Sustainable Intensification in Smallholder Agriculture. Social and agricultural scientists participating in the conference stressed the importance of agricultural research to be done with a holistic systems perspective, and for better links between research on improvements in specific commodities and natural resources management.

One of the keynote's was Dr. Bernard Hubert, President, Agropolis
International, "Systems Thinking toward Institutional Innovation and Change" which was based on our joint work together over many years.
I only hope the CGIAR goes down a different pathway to that pursued the last time they engaged with FSR (farming systems research).
