Overview

This text reports efforts to use rigorous, quantitative methods for priority setting for conducting research on rice in Asia. It begins with a review of the problem and approaches that have been used previously. Several chapters then demonstrate how a number of areas of plant science research have contributed to gains in rice productivity and assess the current challenges of genetic improvement and pest control. The economic framework for priority setting and previous methods are reviewed, before a series of country case studies provide more practical applications of these.
