during seasonal rains in regions where the supply
of rainfall exceeds the demand for rainfall for
only 2–7 months of the year. These rainfall supply
and demand conditions define rainfed agriculture
in the semi-arid tropics (SAT). In 1972,
the International Crops Research Institute for
the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) was established
in India with a global mandate to increase
agricultural production in the SAT, thereby enhancing
poor people’s welfare in these rainfall-unassured
production environments. Technically, the SAT encompassed large
areas of Australia, Latin America and Asia, but
the geographic focus at ICRISAT was always on
peninsular India and sub-Saharan Africa where
most rural and urban poor lived. By 2020, the
total population of people in Asia’s and Africa’s
SAT is projected to be about 850 million, comprising
a 70% share for Asia and a 30% share
evenly split between West and Central Africa and
East and Southern Africa (Walker, 2009). When
ICRISAT was founded in 1972, the relative importance
of the two continental populations was
about 80% for Asia’s SAT and 20% for Africa’s
SAT. The total SAT population in 1972 was only
about 35% of the projected population in 2020...","2015","published",,,,,"CGIAR and CAB International","UK","123-147","478",,,,,,,,,,"TRUE","9781780644011",,"Crop Improvement, Adoption and Impact of Improved Varieties in Food Crops in Sub-Saharan Africa","Walker","T S","","","","http://www.cabi.org/bookshop/book/9781780644011","http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?as_q=%22Assessing+the+Effectiveness+of+Agricultural+R%26D+for+Groundnut%2C+Pearl+Millet%2C+Pigeonpea%2C+and+Sorghum+in+West+and+Central+Africa+and+Eastern+and+Southern+Africa%22&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_occt=title&as_sa","pub",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
