Abstrakt: Agroecology is widely regarded and advocated as a participatory approach. This scoping review assessed the extent, range, and nature of available evidence on participatory research methods in agroecology studies conducted in South Asia. From 2069 records identified in two databases, we included a total of 27 studies, of which 20 were conducted in India. We found that a diverse range of participatory research methods have been used in agroecology studies. However, farmers are rarely engaged as study collaborators, co-researchers and decision-makers. We recommend that more researchers consider the full potential of participatory methods to develop relevant and effective agroecological solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
