Foreword

These proceedings are produced as a result of the 1999 workshop organised by the Danish Agricultural and Rural Development Advisers' Forum. Annual workshops have taken place since 1989, while proceedings began to be published from 1995 in print as well as on the Internet.

The address http://www.husdyr.kvl.dk/htm/php/tune.htm can be used as entrance point to the Internet versions.

Within the framework of these series of Tune workshops, the famous Bangladesh Model for poultry development - referred to in several papers in the present proceedings - was first presented in 1996, when the title of the workshop with inspiration from the UNDP Human Development Reports was “Integrated Farming in Human Development”.

The Bangladesh Model's potential as an instrument in human development has subsequently been described in detail in a report¹ to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and - due to the inspiration derived from it as well as the general neglect of the rural poultry sector by national as well as international agencies - the Ministry now sponsors a Network for Smallholder Poultry Development,² which is located at the Danish Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University. The workshop took place at a time, when the plans for the network were at an advanced stage and it was therefore an appropriate time to bring development workers together with a common interest in rural poultry production as a tool in development.

The interest for the workshop was great. In most years the total number of speakers and participants have been in the interval of 35 to 50, but for this work-shop the number was above 60 and we hope that the workshop will have made its own small contribution to putting rural, smallholder poultry production on the research and development agenda.
