Abstract

The Caribbean Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR/E) Network was initiated at a workshop in St. Lucia in November 1988. The two day workshop was attended by FSR/E practitioners from National and Regional Organisations throughout the English, French and Spanish speaking Caribbean. The participants agreed unanimously on the need for an FRS/ Ε network in the region, with the following objectives : - encouraging information exchange between professionnals involved in FSR, - stimulating interest in FSR/E methodology, and - strengthening the FSR/E infrastructure in the region. The immediate goals of the network are the publication of a bibliography of FSR work, and a directory of FSR practitioners, and the production of a quarterly newsletter, in addition, the network would serve as a clearing house for identifying training needs, and facilitating consultations in FSR within the region. ----- Le réseau caraïbe sur la Recherche-Développement et la Vulgarisation (FSR/E) a été lancé lors d'un atelier qui s'est tenu à Sainte Lucie en Novembre 1988. Cet atelier de deux jours a été suivi par des praticiens de la FSR/E d'organisations nationales et régionales de la Caraïbe anglophone, francophone et hispanophone. A l'unanimité, les participants ont approuvé le besoin d'un réseau FSR/E avec les objectifs suivants : - encourager l'échange d'information entre les professionnels de la FSR/E, - stimuler l'intérêt pour la méthodologie de la FSR/E, - renforcer l'infrastructure de la FSR/E dans la région. Les buts immédiats du réseau sont la publication d'une bibliographie sur la Recherche-Développement (FSR), un répertoire des spécialistes de la FSR et la production d'une circulaire trimestrielle. De plus, le réseau servirait de lieu d'identification des besoins de formation et faciliterait les consultations de FSR dans la région.
