dc.titleTechnical Advisory Committee Fifth Meeting, 30 January - 2 February 1973: Draft Reporten
dcterms.abstractDraft report of the 5th meeting of TAC, held in Rome from January 30 to February 2, 1973, TAC Chairman Sir John Crawford presiding. The meeting was devoted primarily to a preliminary discussion of priorities for international agricultural research. Crawford said he was looking not for hard and fast priorities, but for a framework within which TAC could make specific decisions. He mentioned potential expenditures of $70-80 million by the end of the decade. There was agreement on giving first priority to food production while also considering food quality, particularly protein. To introduce a separate discussion of priorities in socioeconomic research, economists from CIAT, CIMMYT, IRRI, and FAO made presentations. TAC considered the social and policy implications of introducing new technological packages, translation of field level research results into public policy, and whether socioeconomic research warranted establishment of its own IARC. Sir John said that TAC would consider the subject further following a seminar being organized by USAID at Centers Week in July.Having heard revised proposals from WARDA, TAC decided it needed still further information before making a decision on CGIAR support. It decided to supplement a report on water management by Dean Peterson by seeking information from the centers about their programs. TAC received a USAID proposal to establish a resource base on soybeans at the University of Illinois; it approved a resolution establishing a standing subcommittee on grain protein, and discussed a progress report by its Sub-Committee on Research Needs for Protein in Tropical America. TAC made detailed comments on the report of a task force commissioned by the CGIAR sub-Committee on African Livestock and endorsed the proposed creation of a multidisciplinary African livestock production systems center, initially separate from ILRAD. It asked its representative to the Subommittee to present its views. (Statement attacheen
