International agriculture research has contributed enormously to increasing world food supplies to their current state of plenty. Yet poverty remains a major problem and the challenge for agricultural research now lies in developing strategies that more explicitly address the needs of the poor. Based on an analysis of the links between agricultural research and poverty alleviation in different types of countries and rural regions, the author identifies key priorities for a pro-poor agricultural research agenda and discusses strategies for achieving each of these goals with the least trade-off in national agricultural growth. The Indian scenario has been dealt with elaborately and judiciously.
