InterDev Agroecological Farming Systems defines
itself as a network of partners aiming to gather,
format and disseminate useful and operational information
in order to meet the needs for information
of practitioners in natural resources management
and agricultural development. This working group's field is described by the term
"Agroecological Farming Systems". This term covers the concepts of "agroecology" and "farming systems".

InterDev-NRM will facilitate international exchanges of experiences notably among the
numerous local organisations that are in charge of providing technical and methodological
support to natural resources management. It has been built as a co-operative information
service with a common shared database filled by various organisations (NGOs, research
institutes,¿) in order to share their practical experiences, lessons learned, success stories and
failures on NRM and agricultural development. The information may have a internal, network

The overall objective of the project is to develop, test
and evaluate a fully co-operative information service
in the field of Natural (environmental) Resource
Management and to devise an agreed set of operating
criteria which will ensure that the system is effective,
efficient and sustainable. Within this, two specific objectives are:
1. The development and testing of a web information
system based on decentralised data input. 2. The extension of the project's participant base to

The main objectives were: 1) Identification of the fruit fly species present and understanding the complex taxonomy of tropical fruit flies. 2) Development of cheap and locally available protein bait materials for use in large-scale field control of the flies by protein bait spraying. 3) Training of partner national scientists and technicians in fruit fly and host plant identification, and
in fruit fly control methods. 4) Contribution to the development of regional control and trade protocols.

Objectives: to develop heat-resistant vaccines suitable for providing immunity to Newcastle disease in village chicken populations in Asia (and worldwide). The research has consisted of five large and small projects undertaken since 1984, which undertook the following activities: 1) Successful development of a thermostable vaccine for use in Malaysian villages. 2) Extension of vaccine trials to other Asian countries. 3) Development of a new non-commercialised seed vaccine for use in developing countries for making vaccine locally.
