Foresight in Agriculture

In preparation for the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD) 2012, the Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) and ILAC conducted an inventory of forward thinking activities in agriculture and rural development; maily in three main topics: land use, production and consumption, and farminig patters. 
 
As part of the inventory, a series of recent forward thinking studies were identified, analyzed and selected to be further developed into four-page briefs.
The briefs were produced during three 'writeshops' conducted in Rome, Bangkok and San Jose. These briefs, in English, Spanish and Portuguese languages can be found at http://www.egfar.org/content/foresight-write-workshops.
