  • 969-402-063-8
Subject(s): Summary: This book is the result of five years of effort by 22 economists and agricultural scientists from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC), the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The core of the book is 11 empirical papers on the farming systems of the Vale of Peshawar, and more livestock-oriented farming systems which are dryland, wheat-based in northern Punjab, irrigated, wheat-based in Gilgit and rainfed, maize-based in Swat. The empirical work represents a range of analytical methods and quantitative techniques, operating upon micro-level data from surveys which integrate agronomic and economic perspectives. The result is an agenda for national agricultural research that is based on perspectives from the farmer's field. It is also a set of policy implications that differentiate between regions on the basis of rationally documented priorities and differences.
