Investing intelligently in science for development

My Alumni CFANS' Magazine published an article by Becky Byers. In it Professor Phil Pardey recommends more strategic investment in agriculture. YES! Things have slowed down dramatically from the 60's and the Green Revolution.

He and colleagues have created an interactive database for agriculture in developing countries called HarvestChoice Project. What an awesome resource to find out about crops and growing conditions in the developing world!
