内容説明

In response to the significant changes that have occurred in the 1990s in the financing and organization of agricultural and natural resources research, The World Bank, in collaboration with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, the UK Department for International Development, the International Food Policy Research Institute and Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit, initiated a series of regional and country case studies. The aim of these is to examine the impact of the changes. This book brings together the findings of these studies. It covers the changing nature of public sector research in industrialised and developing countries, including the effects of the investment stimulus created by the advent of biotechnology and intellectual property rights, and the collaborations which have resulted. The lessons learned from the different strategies adopted to organize and manage agricultural research are emphasised, along with their effectiveness in terms of the use of human and financial resources to achieve the research goals. The findings are summarised and a series of recommendations are made in terms of future food needs and environmentally sustainable development. Research managers, policy makers in national governments and funding agencies and agricultural economists will find this book an essential reference tool.
