		He became head of the department of agricultural economics in 1953 and served in that capacity until 1965 when he went to the Ford Foundation as senior agriculturist.
		Lowell Hardin, professor emeritus of agricultural economics and associate director of International Agriculture at Purdue, was on the ground floor of what has become international agricultural development worldwide.
		He played a key role in the development of a network of 16 international agricultural research centers around the world, the first of which was the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines.

	Agricultural research CGIAR turns to outsourcing - by Devinder Sharma / Opinions / In Motion Magazine
		The Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), once the harbinger of green revolution that swept through parts of Asia and Latin America in the early 1970s and 1980s, is in an advanced stage of decay.
		In a desperate effort to survive against all odds, the 16 international agricultural research centers that operate under the aegis of CGIAR, have therefore donned a new role - to serve as an agricultural research outsource for the multinational corporations.
		Agricultural scientists are not supposed to undertake a mid-term correction, and therefore are not held accountable for the serious and severe lapses and damages that the technologies bring to the environment and to human and animal health.

	Session 3. Organization of international agricultural research
		Research work is organized either through interdisciplinary commodity research programmes, in which disciplinary units work as teams, or according to disciplinary functional considerations, as in single commodity research centres.
		Research activities of IARCs are organized in the light of recognition of the fact that the success of research depends on sharply focused objectives, organizational structures, resource allocation to achieve the goals and monitoring of progress through internal and external peer reviews.
		As the researchers select problems germane both to developing countries' needs and to the IARC'S mandate, the perception of the developing countries and their participation in the programme, from planning to evaluation, adaptation and transfer of technology, is crucial for success.

	CIFOR Occasional Paper No. 1
		International discussions held before, during and after the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) further highlighted the interrelationships between poverty alleviation and the use and conservation of forests in the tropics.
		The Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) was commissioned by CGIAR in May 1991 to do the preparatory work for the establishment of the forestry centre, a task accomplished in just under two years.
		ISNAR's compilation of agricultural research indicators, its development of a project-based system for planning, control and accounting of research as well as its work on evaluation and assessment of impact are all highly relevant to forestry research organizations.
