I also extend my appreciation to the Finally, I declare this conference open. organizing committee for the realization of this important conference. 10
The establishment and continued growth of the Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTS) Research Network has periodically brought scientists together to encourage research and information exchange on topics of importance to Asia and the rest of the world. Address by Thomas Niblock Winrock International Theme conferences such as this have provided the opportunity for scientists to focus on specific issues of MPTS research and thereby strengthen professional ties while deve!oping regional approaches to specific research problems. In a special sense, this particular conference represents a culmination of the Network's efforts to promote greater awareness among scientists about small-scale farmers -- the clients of their research. Directing MPTS research toward the needs of these farmers is essential for the future. If, in their enthusiasm for research and intellectual challenge, scientists lose sight of the recipients of their work, they have failed in their mission. Steps leading up to this important conference have included: - developing a regional social science study of existing tree planting methods practiced by small-scale farmers in Asia; - conducting a related multidisciplinary study to identify farmers' preferences for tree characteristics to establish guidelines for tree improvement programs; - exploring alternative methods for on-farm research; and - conducting economic and marketing research. Plans for economic analyses of existing Network trials were made in early 1989, and a training course has been designed to familiarize foresters with strategies and research methods for marketing tree products from small farms. Both the Network's Steering and Research Committees have stressed the need for making research responsive to farmers' needs. At their last w.zeting in July at Los Banos, Philippines, the Research Committee recommended that the second five-year phase of the Forestry/Fuelwood Research and Development (F/FRED) Project include regional studies to examine the demand side of MPTS, the effects of introduced species on 11 the rural poor, new markets for MPTS products, and new MPTS-based industries. It was emphasized that generating additional income with MPTS is sometimes more important to farmers than growing them to meet their basic household needs. This conference moves the Network one step closer to raising the standard of living of the rural poor by helping scientists understand the end uses andmarkets for MPTS products from small farms, production and supply relationships, extension and training techniques that can bridge gaps between research results and their implementation on-farm, and directing research to the problems and issues of small-scale farmers. This conference represents a milestone of efforts to bring scientists together to share research findings, and more importantly, poses a new challenge for them to use the benefits of their collaborative research to understand and address the needs of their clients -- the small-scale farmers.
