Abstract
A practitioner interested in using Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) for gathering information as part of a Farming Systems Approach to Research(FSAR) is faced with different models, confusion in terminology resulting from similar concepts with different labels and different concepts with the same lable, and a wide rage of claims and counter-claims on the advantages of different approaches.(1) This paper will introduce the basic concepts of Rapid Rural Appraisal as the critical first step in understanding the complex problems of farmers, clear up some of the confusion, identify salient methodological issues,and suggest a checklist to enable the reader to evaluate the quality of the exercise
