description: Tbc major problems wastraining generation cf dry-farming tech.  nology arc weatha variability, and low rcsoucc allocation for  research. Scientists tod reswch on drylands unattractive as they are  of~cnb, y training and incentive systems, accustomed to expcrimcntation  in slable agr&atic environments.  This paper discusses the implications of these con~traints in  terms of the researcb policy-makkrs' expectation profile, recognition  of location s@i6aty, divelopins of multioption technolog, and  widening thc research infrastruaure. It also discusses past efforts in  dryland research md some features of the present approach: (1) integration  of resource and aopcenved technologies; (2) multilocational  testing (3) mechanisms for farm-level testing; and (4)  problem-focused rcaxrch.
