Toward Sustainability
A Plan for Collaborative Research on Agriculture and Natural Resource Management
by Panel for Collaborative Research Support for AID's Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Program; Board on Agriculture; Board on Science and Technology for International Development; National Research Council
Description
Toward Sustainability recommends a design for a new Collaborative Research Support Program (CRSP) for the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID). Currently, eight CRSPs operate under legislation that supports long-term agricultural research of benefit to developing countries and the United States.
This book defines a process by which knowledge from all relevant AID-supported programs could be integrated and applied to advance profitable farming systems that improve local conditions and contribute to environmental goals. It makes recommendations on the types of competitive grants that should be made available under a new program, institutional participation, content of research proposals, and administrative procedures.
