| Abstract |
The productivity of Asia's agriculture has increased dramatically during the past quarter century, enabling many of the region's poor to move beyond subsistence. For the region to move further along that path, while conserving its heavily used natural resources, agricultural researchers will have to provide a steady flow of new options for Asian farmers. In this Annual Report we concentrate our attention on Asia, the densely populal d and extremely diverse geographic expanse stretching from Pakistan to the Philippines and from Indonesia to China. CIMMYT and the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) hav long been associated with agricultural progress in the region. The CGIAR's efforts in Asia, indeed the ffons of its antecedents, are closely linked with the well-documented success of the "green revolution." In part due to that succes of the region today offers new challenges and new opportunities. |
