The International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) focuses on how to make better use of agricultural science, knowledge and technology to reduce hunger and poverty, improve rural livelihoods, and foster equitable and sustainable development. It represents a three-year effort by 400 experts from around the world sponsored by the UN and World Bank. While agricultural productivity has increased, malnutrition and poverty still plague many areas. The assessment addresses the social and environmental impacts of agriculture and the need for sustainable and equitable solutions.

Consumer Awareness and Satisfaction towards Organic Products in Palakkad Dist...ijtsrd
The adoption of organic production and processing is highly determined by market demand. Therefore this is reflected in consumers awareness and satisfaction towards organic food products. This research result indicated that the main reason for purchasing organic food products is an expectation of a healthier and environment friendly means of production. Organic buyer tend to be older and higher educated than who do not buy them. However, the main barrier to increase the market share of organic food product is consumer information. Abisha.

Scientific Facts on Agriculture & Development
1. Agriculture and Development
A summary of the International Assessment on Agricultural Science
and Technology for Development
AGRICULTURE is closely linked to many concerns, including
biodiversity loss, global warming and water availability.
Despite significant increases in productivity, malnutrition and
poverty still plague many parts of the world. This International
Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for
Development (IAASTD) focuses on how to make better use of
agricultural science, knowledge and technology to reduce
hunger and poverty, improve rural livelihoods, and foster
equitable and sustainable development.
3. How is climate change threatening agriculture?
Agriculture has contributed to climate change in
many ways, for instance through the conversion
of forests to farmland and the release of
greenhouse gases. Conversely, climate change
now threatens to irreversibly damage natural
resources on which agriculture depends.
The effects of global warming are already visible
in much of the world. In some areas, moderate
warming can slightly increase crop yields. But
overall, negative impacts will increasingly
dominate. Floods and droughts become more
frequent and severe, which is likely to seriously
affect farm productivity and the livelihoods of
rural communities, and increase the risk of
conflicts over land and water. Also, climate
change encourages the spread of pests and
invasive species and may increase the
geographical range of some diseases.
Some land use management approaches can
help mitigate global warming. These include
planting trees, restoring degraded land,
conserving natural habitats, and improving soil
and fertility management. Policy options energy sources. Agriculture and other rural change. However, since some changes in the

How is food production affecting health?

Can traditional knowledge contribute to agriculture?
Many effective innovations are generated locally, based on the Local and traditional knowledge has been successfully built into several
