Agricultural research, livelihoods, and poverty: studies of economic and social impacts in six countries, p.331-367 (2007)Keywords:
ILAC Newsletter; partnershipAbstract:
This chapter reviews the results of all seven case studies presented in this volume in terms of the evidence pertaining to the impacts of agricultural technology on poverty in low-income countries. It begins by examining the rate, pattern and determinants of technology adoption and the ways in which dissemination approaches affect adoption, and then turns to the evidence on quantitative and qualitative impacts on productivity, income, and welfare of poor households and individuals. Finally, the chapter turns to the implications of this study for methods of impact assessment and implications for how agricultural research can have a greater effect on poverty. These implications include the priorities and conduct of agricultural research, the partnership formed for innovation and dissemination, and developing a learning culture within research systems.
