This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents the proceedings a meeting organized and implemented by the Asia & Pacific Seed Association and the Department of Agricultural Extension of the Ministry of Agriculture in Bangkok, Thailand in close collaboration with the Seed and Plant Genetic Resources Service of the FAO. In line with the Rome Declaration on World Food Security and the World Food Summit Plan of Action, the Meeting recognized that one of the major challenges facing most countries in Asia and the Pacific is the need to invest significant resources into strengthening their capacity to increase the availability of good quality seeds of a wider range of plant varieties. This will contribute to the maximization of both agrobiodiversity and productivity, in order to achieve national food security while reducing environmental degradation and the depletion of natural resources. The Meeting proposed and agreed to establish a regional seed network to facilitate the exchange of information and expertise among countries and to coordinate policies and programmes designed to strengthen and improve local seed production and distribution systems in Asia and the Pacific. The Seed Network for Asia and the Pacific (SNAP) will facilitate inter-country scientific and technical collaboration on seed production and supply, and promote crop genetic resources evaluation, conservation and utilization in the region.

Download or read book Agriculture Innovation Systems in Asia written by Lakhwinder Singh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at agricultural systems and rural economies in Asia through the prism of alternative innovation systems, alternative public policy and institutional changes. The massive shifts within the agricultural economy in Asia, geared towards increasing production, has had a direct effect on the livelihood of a large mass of people in rural societies, causing financial and social distress. This book explores a wide range of solutions, such as the role of education, improving technical skills and human capital, along with interactive learning in R&D, harnessing ICTs and institutional innovations, to see how these problems can be alleviated. The volume looks at how these methods can help formulate alternative ways to build sustainable and inclusive agricultural societies, ensure food security, sustainable growth and agricultural productivity. This book, rich in theoretical and empirical matter, will be useful for academics and researchers interested in agricultural innovation, development studies and agricultural economics. It will also be of interest to policymakers and thinktanks working towards inclusive social development and sustainability in Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Download or read book Aid and Agricultural Extension written by Michael W. P. Baxter and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1989 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper opens with brief examinations of the process of agricultural extension, and the different forms of publicly provided extension services. An extensive review of the common ways of organizing extension emphasizes the similarities and differences between, and strengths and weaknesses of, rural extension, commodity based extension and extension services founded in Universities. The World Bank is shown to have supported all types of extension. The scale of that support and the Bank's role and aims in providing it are examined at some length. The achievements of other donors are similarly examined. Several important aspects of extension are identified which require careful treatment in designing or modifying extension systems. The importance of a stable agricultural policy environment is emphasized along with the need for a robust yet flexible research system. Further drawing on work done by the World Bank and elsewhere, some important economic issues in developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating extension projects are reviewed. The paper closes by drawing a series of conclusions relevent to the formulation of agricultural extension policy and notes some areas where further study and analysis are needed.
