Agricultural R and D in the Developing World
Author: Philip G. Pardey
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN: 089629756X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
"The world's agricultural economy was transformed remarkably during the 20th century. The agricultural productivity growth that fueled this change was generated primarily by agricultural R&D financed and conducted by a small group of rich countries-especially the United States, but also Japan, Germany, and France. In an increasingly interdependent world, both rich and poor countries have depended on agricultural research conducted in the private and public laboratories of these few countries, even if they have not contributed to financing the activity. But now the rich-country research agendas are shifting. In particular, they are no longer as interested in simple productivity enhancement. Dietary patterns and other priorities change as incomes increase. Food-security concerns are still pervasive among poor people, predominantly in poor countries. In rich countries we see a declining emphasis on enhancing the production of staple foods and an increasing emphasis on enhancing certain attributes of food (such as growing demand for processed and so-called functional foods) and on food production systems (such as organic farming, humane livestock production systems, localized food sources, and "fair trade" coffee). In addition to growing differences between rich and poor countries in consumer demand for innovation, research agendas may diverge because of differences in producer and processor demands. Farmers in rich countries are demanding high-technology inputs that often are not as relevant for subsistence agriculture (such as precision farming technology or other capital-intensive methods). As well as differences in value-adding processes to serve consumer demands, differences in farm production technologies are emerging to serve the evolving agribusiness demands for farm products with specific attributes for particular food, feed, energy, medical, or industrial applications.The purpose of this volume is to document the changing institutions and investments in agricultural R&D in less-developed countries, in part to form a companion volume to Paying for Agricultural Productivity by providing a more complete global picture of the issues."

Impact of Foreign Assistance on Institutional Development of National Agricultural Research Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Gora Beye
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9789251048535
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
This study is the analysis and assessment of foreign assistance provided by 36 agricultural research projects in seven selected countries of sub-Saharan Africa. It traces the evolution of national agricultural research systems (NARS) from independence to the present. It highlights the development of the NARS with regard to infrastructure, human resources and funding as a consequence of foreign assistance. The constraints to NARS institutional development are identified and recommendations made.
