Agricultural R&D is a crucial determinant of agricultural productivity and production, and therefore food prices and poverty. In this paper we review past and present agricultural production and productivity trends and present entirely new evidence on investments in public agricultural R&D worldwide as an indicator of the prospects for agricultural productivity growth over the coming decades. The agricultural R&D world is changing, and in ways that will definitely affect future global patterns of poverty, hunger and other outcomes. The global picture is mixed. In the world as a whole crop yield growth has slowed. In high-income countries productivity growth has slowed significantly, and real spending on agricultural R&D is being reduced. In China, and other middle-income countries, spending on agricultural R&D is being ramped up and productivity growth has not slowed. The overall picture is one in which the middle-income countries are growing in relative importance as producers of agricultural innovations through investments in R&D and have consequently better prospects as producers of agricultural products. 000131824 546__ $$aEnglish 000131824 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000131824 650__ $$aProductivity Analysis 000131824 650__ $$aResearch and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies 000131824 700__ $$aPardey, Philip G. 000131824 700__ $$aAlston, Julian M. 000131824 700__ $$aChan-Kang, Connie 000131824 773__ $$d2012 000131824 8564_ $$95e8f7453-d65c-49f2-be85-ca4bc4e50edf$$s447211$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/131824/files/PardeyEtAlFinal.pdf 000131824 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/131824 000131824 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:131824$$pGLOBAL_SET 000131824 912__ $$nSubmitted by Linda Eells (lle@umn.edu) on 2012-08-22T13:02:17Z No. of bitstreams: 1 PardeyAlstonKang.pdf: 447204 bytes, checksum: 43406ddc06313cb630bc51c922326b0e (MD5) 000131824 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2012-08-22T13:02:19Z (GMT).
