520 _aThe FRAM-A(gro) programme has been initiated to improve Norwegian farmers' business and strategic management skills. Economic results have been found to vary between farmers operating under similar conditions, suggesting that management factors and human resources have an effect on financial performance. This article reports on an evaluation of the early projects. Key findings are that the learning model combining three approaches (theory, group learning and on-farm activities) was successful and that farmers were satisfied with the one-to-one consultancy.
