Agricultural research must contribute to
transformation of agriculture in support of
poverty alleviation and income generation

• Many people are dependent on fragile
  agricultural resources for their living and
  livelihoods
• Rapidly evolving urban demand provides
  diversification and value addition opportunities
• Changing trade regime requires enhanced
  competitiveness
• The agricultural resource base is under threat
  (water availability, soil degradation)
• New knowledge and technologies required to
  reconcile competitiveness and demand growth with
  livelihood and sustainability concerns in a
  changing institutional context

3
The organization of science is quickly changing

• The knowledge elite
• Paper to store and share knowledge
• Research is expensive
• Research as the key tool to generate knowledge
• The linear model researchgt knowledgegt
  adaptationgt use of innovations

• The knowledge society
• Digital media and the Web to store and share
• Research is very expensive
• Search and consultation to generate knowledge
• The interactive model innovations combine
  problem recognition and knowledge generation

Objectives of NAIP

• General
• to facilitate the accelerated and sustainable
  transformation of Indian agriculture for poverty
  alleviation and income generation.
• Specific
• To accelerate the collaborative development and
  application of agricultural innovations between
  public research organizations, farmers, private
  sector and other stakeholders.

The evolution in the collaboration between ICAR
and Bank!

• The on-farm approach of the National Agricultural
  Technology Project (NATP) will be extended to
• a production to consumption system (value chain)
  approach
• a rural livelihood improvement approach
• more attention to basic and strategic research
• From collaborative research in the public sector,
  to harnessing synergies in partnerships among
  public and private sector, farmer organizations
  and civil society.
• From separate coverage of research and extension
  to integrating technology generation and uptake
  pathways.

Demand perspective on agricultural growth and
opportunities (TN)
8
The market demands a more diversified supply

• Main Drivers
• Demand side
• Rising incomes and growing middle class
• Urbanization changes consumer preferences
• Globalization
• Supply Side
• Slow cereal productivity growth
• Liberalization of seed sector
• Improved transport and telecommunications

2. Research on Production to consumption systems

• About 15 Consortia with public organizations,
  private sector, farmer organizations, NGOs and
  others from across the production to consumption
  system
• Jointly responsible for governance, design and
  implementation of research programs and the
  application of the resulting innovations
• Knowledge management activities, such as the
  organization of conferences and innovation market
  places, networks and communication strategies.
• Selection through a competitive process
• Support to investment, operational and some
  personnel costs of the consortia

11
Fields of research in value chain consortia

• Food security and income improvement in staple
  foods
• Agricultural activities with large employment and
  income potential
• Export promotion
• Import substitution
• Products with agro-processing potential

What is new in PCS consortia?
New Feature Response
1. Market and consumer concerns Attention to quality, standards and grades, processing, value chain management
2. Wider partnerships needed for success Engaging processors, traders, retailers in problem definition and program execution
14
What is new in PCS consortia?
3. Focus on research and development Piloting innovation, exploring upscaling strategies
Commercialization of results Early Partnerships, IP management
Sub-sector focus Consortium advisory committee, sub-sector dissemination
15
Possible issues?
Salary recovery of private partners Equipment investments for public partners Salary costs for private
Exclusive use of research results IP with ICAR, first right to license with private partners
Business management procedures NAIP guidelines as the starting point
