Networking—a new name for an ancient practice—has become common in virtually every field of human endeavor. In the sciences, networking has the longest history and is the most diverse in agricultural research, particularly at the international level. This book is a critical, evenhanded survey of agricultural networks which presents examples from the experience of international research centers and national programs around the world.
