Abstract

Concluding Remarks In this chapter an attempt has been made to describe the nature of the issues and challenges that the national agricultural research systems face in Central Asian countries. Given the increased diversity of land ownership and production of crops there is an urgent need for the agriculture research systems to transform themselves to meet the emerging needs of the farming community in the region. Organizing the institutions to meet the technology, policy, institutional challenges that the countries face will require setting priorities for agriculture research through appropriate science and technology policy process, by bringing organization and business management principles to the management of national agricultural research systems. Facilitating institutional reforms and innovations at all levels of the food and agricultural research system to meet the emerging challenges of the rural sector can hardly be overemphasized.
