Publishers Description: This is an overview of agricultural research systems, in over 50 developing countries, where economic development depends on improving the productivity of agriculture and the sustainable management of renewable resources. The author explores new strategies and functions that national research systems can perform to meet the needs of their agricultural and natural resource sectors without relying on organizational growth. A national portfolio approach to the strategic planning of research is presented and illustrated by case studies. Scientific developments that stretch the scope of research in small countries are also discussed, such as natural resource management, biotechnology and the management of scientific information.
