Abstract:
|
"While not a new issue, agricultural sustainability is a very topical
concern in many quarters. The World Bank held a 2-day in-house
symposium on the topic 7 January of 1987, and the Consultitive Group
on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is devoting
considerable attentio to the topic. Its Technical Advisory
Conmittee (TAC) has recently prepared a review of future strategies
and priorities for te CGIAR which gives prominent place to
'sustainability' in both the articulation of the overall goal of the
CGIAR and in the first of 8 objectives addressing this goal. The TAC
is also exploring ways in which the International Agricultural
Research Centers (IARCs) can more fully address sustainabilitv
questions."
