International Assessment of Agriculural Science & Technology

International Assessment of Agriculural Science & Technology

This World Bank managed website calls for a massive international assessment of agricultural science and technology. I suspect that without serious changes in the support for agricultural R&R, the world is in for serious problems in the next 50 and 100 years. The program described here already represents a "consultative process was a resounding success: approximately 800 stakeholders from 108 countries (representatives from governments, UN agencies, scientific institutions, private sector, foundations, NGOs, producers and consumers)"

Read the final report of the steering committee.
