Objectives of Session 9

This session aims to identify and analyze the changes in levels and scope of agricultural research investment by private and public institutions. It will discuss the differences between developing and developed countries, as well as between regions, and analyze the implications for agricultural technology development and the utilization of Plant Genetic Resources (PGR). The session will also explore the implications for the conservation of PGR.

  1. To identify changes in levels and scope of agricultural research investment by private and public institutions To discuss the differences between developing and developed countries, and between regions To analyze the implications for the types of agricultural technology that result and how PGR are utilized To identify the implications for the conservation of PGR Objectives of Session 9

  2. Changes in Levels and Scope of Agricultural Research Investment by Private and Public Institutions • Long-term data series on private and public investment in agricultural research for both developing and developed countries are difficult to obtain • In more recent years, private investment in agricultural research has grown much more rapidly than public investment

  3. Contributing Factors to Rapid Rate of Increase in Private Agricultural Research Investment • New technological and market opportunities related to scientific advances • Changes in intellectual property regimes that have allowed private sector firms to capture more of the benefits that result from research • New institutional structures for public and private sector research collaboration and technology transfer • Increased globalization of agricultural input markets

  4. Differences Between Developing and Developed Countries, and Between Regions • General differences • Trends in plant breeding • Implications for technology development • Implications for access • Implications for the conservation of PGR
