Title: The origins and implications of using innovation systems perspectives in the 
	 design and implementation of agricultural research projects: Some personal 
	 observations 
Abstract: In recent years the there has been an increasing recognition of the 
	 potential of the innovation systems concept to provide new ways of 
	 making more effective use of agricultural research and improve its 
	 impact on socially desirable outcomes. This paper documents the 
	 experiences of a group of researchers in India who experimented with 
	 this framework and tried to operationalise its principles in project 
	 design. The paper comments on some of the implications of using this 
	 approach and the challenges it presents for implementers of agricultural 
	 research projects in developing countries.
