In this paper we characterize the common agricultural science-led development paradigm of the past and a newly emerging approach that we have titled the socio-ecological paradigm. We examine the assumptions, successes and failures of these paradigms and propose changes in approach that seem appropriate to address current developmental issues. These changes include a move towards systems based research and development and greater involvement of rural people who are the targets of developmental efforts. A systems protocol is proposed that attempts to reconcile the appropriate interface between systems and component based research and development.}, number={1-4}, journal={AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT}, author={GROVE, TL and EDWARDS, CA}, year={1993}, month={Sep}, pages={135–145} }
