research projects on sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut for their close collaboration
and support from the inception of the TRIVSA Project to its end. We also thank scientists
of ICRISAT, DSR, IIPR, DGR, respective SAUs and HPRC members for their generous help in data
sharing and for their participation in the elicitation process.","The importance of crop genetic improvement research
is demonstrated by the Green Revolution,
which led to a rapid increase in food production
in Asia. Those productivity gains contributed to
a reduction in poverty directly through increased
farm-household income and indirectly through
a long-term decline in the prices of food grains,
which account for a large share of poor consumers’
expenditure. The success of crop genetic improvement
research that led to the development of improved
varieties of food crops is well documented
(Evenson and Gollin, 2003; Bantilan et al., 2013).
Despite the rapid progress made in the past,
poverty is still concentrated in South Asia with
around 571 million or one-third of the world’s
poor, estimated at about 1.29 billion in 2011
(World Bank, 2012). Substantial scope exists for
further reducing poverty through crop genetic
improvement by increasing or stabilizing the
yield of major food crops, particularly the dryland
crops in South Asia. Modern varietal change
by itself may not lift large numbers of people out
of poverty, but greater dynamism in this area
can go a long way toward moving poor people
closer to that threshold. Moreover, modern varietal
change can set the stage for the adoption of
improved crop management practices, thereby
making it possible for farmers to reduce the cost
of production substantially...","2015","published",,,,,"CGIAR and CAB International","UK","265-293","478",,,,,,,,,,"TRUE","9781780644011",,"Crop Improvement, Adoption and Impact of Improved Varieties in Food Crops in Sub-Saharan Africa","Walker","T S","","","",,"http://ispc.cgiar.org/sites/default/files/pdf/DIIVA_book-2015.pdf","org",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
