This document outlines a participatory approach to agricultural research. It discusses (1) how farmer participation in trial design and evaluation can help address challenges of low technology adoption; (2) a participatory trial design workshop tool; and (3) participatory trials conducted across soil fertility gradients. The approach aims to customize promising management practices to local contexts and support farmers in testing options. International collaborations are highlighted as facilitating validation of technologies across diverse socio-ecological conditions. Future challenges for this approach are also noted.
