Agricultural research carried out under this chapter shall (1)
take account of the special needs of small farmers in the
determination of research priorities, (2) include research on the
interrelationships among technology, institutions, and economic,
social, environmental, and cultural factors affecting small-farm
agriculture, and (3) make extensive use of field testing to adapt
basic research to local conditions. Special emphasis shall be

can be put to use, and especially on institutional and other
arrangements needed to assure that small farmers have effective
access to both new and existing improved technology.
