TY - CONF N2 - 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.
