Agricultural research, livelihoods, and poverty
Author: Adato, Michelle
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN: 0801887216
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Those who study global poverty and ways to reduce it face a perennial set of questions: Do advances in knowledge, research, and technology make a real difference in the lives of poor people? What effect does research have on the poor? Who benefits? The contributors to Agricultural Research, Livelihoods, and Poverty shed light on these questions through a collection of case studies that explore the types of impact that agricultural research has had on livelihoods and poverty in low-income countries.

Adjustment and Technology
Author: Robert Eugene Evenson
Publisher: Development Cent and Development
ISBN:
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
This study is part of a project on technological change in developing country agricultures. The project's principal objective is to determine whether the structural adjustment and liberalization process is enhancing or impairing the economic and institutional conditions conducive to technological innovation and greater productivity. The studies provide different perspectives on the relationship between economic reform and technological change in agriculture. The study of rice assesses the impact of both the crisis and mismanagement period of the early 1980s and the structural reform of the latter part of the decade on the effectiveness of rice research systems and on the investment in and maintenance of rice research systems. The study concludes that the effectiveness of rice research is governed to a large degree by long and complex sequences of genetic resource packaging and related science and is thus resilient to short-term economic shocks.

Advances in Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance
Author: Mirza Hasanuzzaman
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing
ISBN: 0128143339
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 986
Book Description
Advances in Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance provides an important guide to recognizing, assessing and addressing the broad range of environmental factors that can inhibit rice yield. As a staple food for nearly half of the world’s population, and in light of projected population growth, improving and increasing rice yield is imperative. This book presents current research on abiotic stresses including extreme temperature variance, drought, hypoxia, salinity, heavy metal, nutrient deficiency and toxicity stresses. Going further, it identifies a variety of approaches to alleviate the damaging effects and improving the stress tolerance of rice. Advances in Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance provides an important reference for those ensuring optimal yields from this globally important food crop. Covers aspects of abiotic stress, from research, history, practical field problems faced by rice, and the possible remedies to the adverse effects of abiotic stresses Provides practical insights into a wide range of management and crop improvement practices Presents a valuable, single-volume sourcebook for rice scientists dealing with agronomy, physiology, molecular biology and biotechnology

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Review of recent trends in social science analysis of agricultural research, identifying gaps in research and outlining areas of high potential payoff to future research. The major themes treated in the evolution of theory on the generation and diffusion of agricultural technology since the 1950s are reviewed. A framework is constructed for setting research priorities, including historical, technological, and institutional dimensions. Examples in applying the framework are given and areas of high future payoff are identified. An extensive bibliography, arranged by theme, is also included.
