dc.descriptionThe demand for food is expected to increase by over 60 percent over the next 40 years as the global population reaches 9 billion. FAO estimates that 91 percent of the increase in food production needed to meet this demand must come from yield increases based on advancements in agricultural research, and its application and transmission to farmers through effective research-extension linkages. Half a billion small family farms produce most of the food consumed in developing countries, but their p roductivity is generally lagging. The success of developing countries in increasing agricultural productivity will strengthen the resilience of food markets, enhance food security and promote sustainability. This publication examines the role of information and communication technologies, information and communication management, and information knowledge management for agricultural research development (AR4D) among countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
