This volume presents a set of case studies that provide empirical evidence on the relationship between rural poverty and the results of agricultural research. It begins by addressing the broad issues of this relationship and then sets the stage for the empirical results. The first chapters look at some more specific dimensions of understanding the impact of agricultural research: the gender dimension, the use of GIS to understand poverty, the issue of dialogue with policymakers, and the issue of innovation as a social process. For the second section, the editors sought empirical data--a mix of studies from different parts of the world, different crops, different ecosystems, and different kinds of technologies. However, all these chapters share the commonality that they are trying to understand how research and new knowledge can create new options that alleviate poverty at the level of rural communities and households. 342 p. 16.5 x 23.5 cm.
