Abstract only

A key characteristic of geographic systems analysis is that location of an observation is known. The goal of this presentation is to indicate where the addition of location information adds value to the impact assessment of agricultural research. I adopt the 6 categories of impact assessment research identified by Pingali as an organizing framework for assessing the value of spatially explicit information and analysis. Selected results from the literature are presented and areas of future use and research identified.
