RHoMIS was developed to efficiently collect a series of harmonized and standardized performance indicators at farm household level, especially targeting smallholder farmers in developing (or now maybe better: low income) countries.
This work started as a small-scale collaboration between scientists of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF), but has now expanded to a larger community of scientists and other people working in agricultural development.
