• W2188202479 abstract "South Asian countries have made remarkable advances in food production accompanied by a dramatic reduction of poverty during the past two decades. This has been due to the result of trade and investment reforms, which have generated economic growth in this region. Despite these changes South Asia generates only 2% of the global income, yet supports 22% of the world’s population and 44% of the world’s poor. Over 75% of the population depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Therefore, agriculture will play a major role in the future and massive productivity increases and product diversification will be required. Due to escalating population and urbanization, natural resource are gradually depleting posing major challenges to reduce poverty in this region. The problems confronting these countries are complex and enormous of which the major issues are; declining agricultural land and agricultural population, marginal producers with small land holdings, decreasing per capita land availability, conflicting demands for scarce water resource, urbanization and youth evading traditional farming. This region will be required to produce food for larger and larger populations from less and lees land. The biggest challenge is how to increase output from the shrinking agricultural sector, while sustaining the productivity potential of the available natural resources. The poverty is widespread in the region and there are over 800 million Asians living in abject poverty, nearly 20 million children are malnourished or undernourished. The levels of achievement of the Millennium Goals indicate that pervasive poverty yet haunts the South Asian countries. The most paradoxical situation is that some affluent Asians are enriching and changing diets while the many impoverished are scavenging. There is high-income disparity in these conflict engulfed countries and the purchasing power of the poor rural population is highly limited. The technologies have made a tremendous impact to improve the livelihoods of these people and even with a time lag they have benefited them. The technologies have benefited the rich than the poor, landed than the landless and men rather than women. The current globalisation is affecting all these countries and agriculture is getting commercialised. The technologies are generated based on demand and these are beyond the reach of the small farmers. They become inappropriate because of the scale, cost or managerial complexity. The agricultural production systems are also changing rapidly, trend being intensive agriculture using high- tech that provide maximum potential benefit of improved crop germplasm. Furthermore, a paradigm shift is taking place in agriculture towards the development of value added secondary products to be competitive in the international markets. In this situation, policy level government intervention will be required to safeguard the poverty ridden small producers by judicious investment in technology, infrastructure and human capital. Despite the significant progress made in improving food production and consumption levels in many of these countries, there are numerous questions regarding technologies for reducing poverty in the future. Therefore, a participatory regional technology assessment is proposed to examine how agricultural research should be focussed to alleviate poverty among the rural communities." @default.
