More Rural Research Is needed

1 Agricultural research funding is Vital if the world is to feed itself better than it does now. Dr. Tony Fischer,crop scientist, said demand was growing at 2.5% per year, but with m o d e m technologies and the development of new ones, the world should be able to stay ahead.

2 “The global decline in investment in international agricultural research must be reversed if significant progress is to be made towards reducing malnutrition and poverty,” he said.

3 Research is needed to solve food production, land degradation and environmental problems. Secure local food supplies led to economic growth which in turn slowed population growth Dr. Fischer painted a picture of the world’s ability to feed itself in the first 25 years, w h e n the world’s population is expected to rise from 5.8 to 8 billion people. H e said that things will probably hold or improve but there ’11 still be a lot of hungry people. The biggest concentration of poor and hungry people would be in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia in 2020 similar

to the current pattern. If there is any change, a slight improvement will be seen in southern Asia, but not in sub-Saharan Africa. The major improvement will be in East Asia, South America and South-East Asia.

4 The developing world was investing about 0.5%, or $8 billion a year, of its agricultural gross domestic product(GDP) on research, and the developed world was spending 2.5% of its GDS Dr. Fischer said more was needed from all countries.

5 He said crop research could produce technologies that spread across m a n y countries, such as wheat production research having spin-offs for Mexico, China or India.

6 “Technologies still need to be refined for the local conditions but a lot of the strategic research can have global application, so that money can be used very efficiently,” Dr. Fischer said.

7 Yields of rice, wheat and maize have grown impressively in the past 30 years, especially in developing countries. For example, maize production rose from 2-8 tonnes per hectare between 1950 and 1995. But technologies driving this growth, such as high-yield varieties, fertilizers, and irrigation, were becoming exhausted.“If you want to save the land for non-agricultural activities, for forests and wildlife, you ’re going to have to increase yield,” Dr. Fischer said.
