abstract: Despi t e the impressive gains in food product ion, food security, and reduct ion in
rural pover t y in South Asia in recent t imes, problems such as degradat ion of
natural resources, water scarcity, and low product ivi t y persist in the region. The
threat of marginal izat ion of agr icul ture and l ivel ihoods of the poor looms large in
South and West Asia, where agr icul ture is the dominant economic activity. The
emerging global challenges, pauci t y of resources, and the need for greater and
quicker impacts now compels organizations to pr ior i t ize research. Thi s workshop
was organized as par t of APAARI , ICRISAT, and ICAR' s ongoing ef for t to establish
a demand-dr iven research agenda based on a par t icipator y approach. The object ive
was to ident i f y research pr ior i t ies based on gap analysis by national programs.
Representatives of f ive South and West Asian count r ies ( India, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Nepal and I ran) , C G I A R inst i tutes, donors, NGOs , farmer
associations, agr icul tural universi t ies, and the pr ivate sector presented thei r
research needs and emerging challenges, on the basis of ident i f ied cr i t ical gaps and
al ternat ive approaches for addressing these. Thi s book is a compi lat ion of the
count r y papers presented, and spells out specific pr ior i t ies at macro- , meso- , and
micro- levels under the broad themes of genetic improvement , natural resources
management , and socioeconomic and pol icy research.
