Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back cover blurb Rising agricultural productivity has driven improvements in living standards for millennia. Today, redoubling that effort in developing countries is critical to reducing extreme poverty, ensuring food security for an increasing global population, and adapting to changes in climate. This volume presents fresh analysis on global trends and sources of productivity growth in agriculture and offers new perspectives on the drivers of that growth. It argues that gains from the reallocation of land and labor are not as promising as believed, so policy needs to focus more on the generation and dissemination of new technologies, which requires stepping up national research efforts. Yet, in many of the poorest nations, a serious research spending gap has emerged precisely at the time when the challenges faced by agriculture are intensifying. The book focuses on how this problem can be redressed in the public sector, as well as on reforms aimed at mobilizing new private sector actors and value chains, particularly creating a better enabling environment, reforming trade regulations, introducing new products, and strengthening intellectual property rights. On the demand side, the book examines what recent research reveals about policies to reduce the barriers impeding smallholder farmers from adopting new technologies. Harvesting Prosperity is the fourth volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers. “As rightly argued by the authors, growth in agricultural productivity is the essential instrument to promote development in low-income agriculture-based countries. Achieving this requires research and development, upgrading of universities, reinforcement of farmer capacities, removal of constraints to adoption, and the development of inclusive value chains with interlinked contracts. As important, such efforts also need to be placed within a context of comprehensive agricultural, rural, and structural transformations. However, in many countries implementation of the requisite policies has been lagging. This book, with contributions from many top experts in the field, provides the most up-to-date presentation of this argument and explains in detail how to successfully put its ideas into practice. Governments, the private sector, and civil society organizations need to study it carefully to turn the promise of agriculture for development into a reality.“ Alain de Janvry and Elisabeth Sadoulet Professors of the Graduate School, University of California at Berkeley

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents frontier knowledge on the drivers of agriculture productivity to derive pragmatic policy advice for governments and development partners on reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The analysis describes global trends and long-term sources of total factor productivity growth, along with broad trends in partial factor productivity for land and labor, revisiting the question of scale economies in farming. Technology is central to growth in agricultural productivity, yet across many parts of the developing world, readily available technology is never taken up. We investigate demand-side constraints of the technology equation to analyze factors that might influence producers, particularly poor producers, to adopt modern technology. Agriculture and food systems are rapidly transforming, characterized by shifting food preferences, the rise and growing sophistication of value chains, the increasing globalization of agriculture, and the expanding role of the public and private sectors in bringing about efficient and more rapid productivity growth. In light of this transformation, the analysis focuses on the supply side of the technology equation, exploring how the enabling environment and regulations related to trade and intellectual property rights stimulate Research and Development to raise productivity. The book also discusses emerging developments in modern value chains that contribute to rising productivity. This book is the fourth volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers.

Book excerpt: In the always developing scene of agribusiness, the execution of present day procedures has turned into the foundation of reaping thriving. The conventional picture of a rancher working in the fields has given way to a dynamic and innovation driven approach, upsetting the manner in which we develop, gather, and support our worldwide food sources. Present day farming procedures incorporate a range of developments intended to upgrade effectiveness, efficiency, and supportability. Accuracy cultivating, a central participant in this rural upset, uses cutting edge innovations like GPS, sensors, and information examination to streamline the utilization of assets. Ranchers can exactly screen and oversee factors like soil conditions, water utilization, and harvest wellbeing, empowering them to go with informed choices that amplify yields while limiting natural effect. Quite possibly of the main leap forward lately is the reception of hereditarily adjusted creatures (GMOs) and biotechnology. These advancements have prompted the improvement of yields with upgraded protection from bugs, sicknesses, and antagonistic natural circumstances. Through hereditary designing, researchers have made crops that require less pesticides, guaranteeing a more manageable and eco-accommodating way to deal with cultivating. This adds to expanded yields as well as diminishes the biological impression related with ordinary agribusiness. The joining of computerization and advanced mechanics has additionally smoothed out horticultural cycles, fundamentally diminishing work force and working on in general productivity. Mechanized apparatus, furnished with cutting edge sensors and man-made reasoning, can perform assignments like planting, gathering, and arranging with unrivaled accuracy. This speeds up the speed of creation as well as diminishes the dependence on physical work, addressing difficulties connected with work deficiencies in numerous agrarian districts. The reception of maintainable cultivating rehearses has acquired noticeable quality, with a rising accentuation on natural cultivating, agroforestry, and regenerative farming. These practices center around saving soil wellbeing, limiting substance inputs, and advancing biodiversity. By supporting the biological system in which harvests flourish, ranchers guarantee the drawn out practicality of their tasks and add to the conservation of the climate. Current agrarian strategies likewise envelop vertical cultivating and tank-farming, imaginative methodologies that reclassify conventional ideas of arable land. Vertical cultivating uses stacked layers to develop crops in controlled indoor conditions, enhancing space and assets. Tank-farming, then again, includes developing plants without soil, utilizing supplement rich water arrangements. The two techniques address the difficulties of land shortage and empower all year creation, giving a practical answer for food security concerns.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued population growth, rapidly changing consumption patterns and the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are driving limited resources of food, energy, water and materials towards critical thresholds worldwide. These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification - producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts - represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned from 40 sustainable agricultural intensification programmes in 20 countries across Africa, commissioned as part of the UK Government's Foresight project. Through detailed case studies, the authors of each chapter examine how to develop productive and sustainable agricultural systems and how to scale up these systems to reach many more millions of people in the future. Themes covered include crop improvements, agroforestry and soil conservation, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, horticulture, livestock and fodder crops, aquaculture, and novel policies and partnerships.
