Bangladesh and the CGIAR Centers
The collaboration between the international agricultural research centers and the national agricultural research system of Bangladesh has been very important to the growth of agricultural research and agricultural productivity in Bangladesh. The collaboration started in 1966 with the beginning of the International Rice Research Institute's (IRRI) relationship with the Agricultural Research Institute and has involved a number of activities. These activities have involved researching crops and posting center researchers in Bangladesh to work with local researchers on local problems, regular visits by center staff, training programs at the centers or run by the centers, joint programs of germplasm testing and publications. The outcome of this collaboration has been more food production and probably improved income distribution. Modern varieties of rice and wheat have increased the demand for labor, which benefits the landless laborers who are the poorest group in Bangladesh. Increased food production has reduced the real price of foodgrains, which primarily benefits poorer consumers both in the cities and the countryside.
ISNAR Agricultural Research Indicator Series
Fully-sourced country-specific files on the basic resources committed to national agricultural research systems for 154 developing and developed countries.
The Lentil
The lentil is a crop primarily grown in the developing world. It has the ability to use water efficiently and grow in marginal environments as well as being high in protein. This title includes chapters that outline improvements in production, such as water and soil nutrient management, agronomy, mechanization, and weed management.
Achieving sustainable crop nutrition
Focus on integrating research on nutrient cycling, crop nutrient processing and the environmental impact of fertiliser use to identify ways of improving nutrient use efficiency (NUE) in the use of particular fertilisers Includes research on a range of secondary macronutrients and micronutrients including: calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron, manganese and molybdenum Reviews a wide range of options for reducing/optimising current levels of fertiliser use
Commercialization of agricultural research and biotechnology stakeholder consultation workshops: Final report
From December 6-10, 2020, USAID organized and IFPRI facilitated five virtual stakeholder consultation workshops on agricultural research and biotechnology, bringing together relevant stakeholders involved in crop and non-crop agriculture from Barishal, Cox’s Bazar, Dhaka, Jashore, and Khulna districts in southern Bangladesh. This format aimed to capture the views and perceptions of a range of relevant actors on the status, opportunities and challenges, and recommendations for improving agricultural research and biotechnology. This report presents the subjective views of participants who are affected by and have a stake in these discussions, from value chain actors who have had challenges c...

Proceedings from the grand inauguration of the project Consortium for Scaling-Up Climate-Smart Agriculture in South Asia (C-SUCSeS)
Driven by the need to produce more food for an ever-increasing population that is further marred with declining and degrading natural resource base, adapting to and mitigating climate change have posed a big challenge. It is an established fact that in agriculture, fertilizers, flooded rice cultivation, energy use in irrigation, tillage, and enteric emissions from ruminant animals are the main contributors of greenhouse gases, which accounts to about one-fourth of the total emissions. The evolution of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) emerged as a scientific response to this multi-headed hydra, which helps achieve higher production with reduced emission. The fact remains that the small farm ho...
