For the 1995-96 Corporate Report, "listening to our farmer partners"was chosen as the theme. Many of the personalized accounts of the farmers presented in the Report convey the role of farmers as co-researchers - rather than only as recipients of research outcomes. Rice farmers in the developing world traditionally conduct experiments with their rice crops. Their experiments, and the evaluation of the outcomes, have had to be as relevant and creative as any trials carried out by scientists, as the economic and even physical survival of the farmers and their families has been totally dependent on such activities. This year's Report features some of the work that IRRI scientists and all those who support them continue to do in collaboration with numerous partners in the developing and developed world.
