"Despi t e the impressive gains in food product ion, food security, and reduct ion in\r\nrural pover t y in South Asia in recent t imes, problems such as degradat ion of\r\nnatural resources, water scarcity, and low product ivi t y persist in the region. The\r\nthreat of marginal izat ion of agr icul ture and l ivel ihoods of the poor looms large in\r\nSouth and West Asia, where agr icul ture is the dominant economic activity. The\r\nemerging global challenges, pauci t y of resources, and the need for greater and\r\nquicker impacts now compels organizations to pr ior i t ize research. Thi s workshop\r\nwas organized as par t of APAARI , ICRISAT, and ICAR' s ongoing ef for t to establish\r\na demand-dr iven research agenda based on a par t icipator y approach.
