CGIAR Annual Report 2007: Research within Reach

CGIAR annual report covering the year 2007. Research Within Reach is the theme of the 2007 CGIAR Annual Report: Research Within Reach focuses on new research that promises to help respond to the challenges the agriculture sector now confronts — challenges of increasingly erratic weather, scarce resources and expensive inputs. In addition to more resilient and productive crops, and better ways to control pests, the research highlighted in this report includes tools that will enable better delivery of development approaches by targeting local needs through climate and poverty mapping. Together, this research represents new potential for reducing the vulnerability of the poor, improving their nutrition and providing pathways out of poverty.
