Abstract:
RAAKS, the rapid (or relaxed) appraisal of agricultural knowledge systems, was developed by Paul Engel, Monique Salomon and others at the Department for Communication and Innovation Studies of Wageningen University, on the basis of field work done by national researchers and practitioners in over 25 countries in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. RAAKS has been adapted and widely used to inspire innovative capacity development and social learning processes at the community level among rural organisations and institutions and, more recently, in agricultural market chains. The RAAKS methodology and some field experiences were originally published in 1997. In 2002 RAAKS was republished without revision and it is now again out of print.
