As international agricultural research centers places greater emphasis on poverty reduction, a debate is underway whether higher priority should be given to research to “add value” to agricultural commodities through post-harvest innovations at the expense of the traditional emphasis given to agricultural production. In particular, post-harvest research is seen as a way of creating new markets for commodities that may be in surplus or are facing declining demand. In this paper we review the evidence on the economic benefits from past public investments in post-harvest research to increase value of two major food crops – potato and sweetpotato. For the review we draw upon the experiences of two research institutions: first for the United States public research system during the early 20th Century and then for the International Potato Center (CIP) since its post-harvest research program began in 1975. Most of the evidence from both the U.S. and CIP’s experiences strongly suggests that public sector investment in generating value-enhancing technologies for potato and sweetpotato has been characterized by a low rate of return. New product development is a particularly risky endeavor. Implications for investment by international agricultural research centers in value-enhancing agricultural research are discussed.

Priority assessment for commodity improvement programmes has received methodological attention, yet innovation is needed for other, newer areas of research which have impact pathways that are harder to predict. Focusing on priority setting practices utilized in different international agricultural research institutes, this book discusses real world experiences and innovations with priority assessment methods. Chapters present approaches that have been used to articulate, explore and assess impact pathways and research priorities, while also considering their strengths and weaknesses and drawing together methodological lessons.

By combining forestry with agriculture, agroforestry systems optimize the use of land while improving soil health, conserving water, and sequestering carbon. This multifaceted strategy provides farmers with diverse income sources and helps guard agricultural communities against the impacts of climate change, like extreme weather events and fluctuating crop yields. As the world seeks solutions to combat climate change and ensure food security, agroforestry offers a viable pathway toward a more sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural future. Further research may reveal the potential of agroforestry to contribute to both environmental conservation and the long-term well-being of farming communities. Agroforestry for a Climate-Smart Future explores agroforestry's potential to revolutionize our approach to food production and environmental stewardship. It delves into the intricate ways in which agroforestry systems integrate trees and shrubs with crops and livestock, creating diverse, productive, and sustainable land-use systems. This book covers topics such as climatology, smart agriculture, and soil health, and is a useful resource for agriculturalists, climatologists, environmental scientists, academicians, and researchers.
