The report, which has been undertaken over four years, looks at the potential of agricultural knowledge, science and technology to reduce hunger and poverty and improve rural livelihoods, whilst working towards environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development. Over 400 experts have contributed to the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development.
