“…11 In a similar vein, it is likely that some of the CGIAR's policy research has been extremely influential in setting the global policy agenda, even though it cannot be readily quantified in terms of development goals of income generation and poverty reduction. Examples include the bioversity's role in successfully concluding the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources (Gotor, 2008), and the influence of IFPRIs research on international trade liberalization and the Doha trade negotiations (Hewitt, 2008).…”

“…Indeed, the intensification in production has narrowed down the portfolio of Andean grain diversity, making production systems more vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses, and has also reduced the nutritional opportunities linked to quinoa intraspecific diversity (Jacobsen, ). The result is a classic ‘tragedy of the commons’ situation wherein the private, short‐term incentives go against the sustainable use of Andean grains and their genetic resources, instead favouring activities that could deplete the resource altogether (Drucker, Gomez, & Anderson, ; Gotor, Caracciolo, & Watts, ; Bellon, Gotor, & Caracciolo, ). This has raised reasonable concerns about social and environmental sustainability, suggesting that external intervention to obtain an optimum level of use for these crops may be necessary (Bezabih, ; Jacobsen, ).…”

This paper analyses the impact of a development programme designed at promoting the sustainable use of Andean Grain diversity. Results demonstrate that knowledge-sharing on agronomic practices, on benefits derived from consumption, and improving Andean Grain quality had a positive impact on income generation and farmer livelihoods. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of programmes aimed at improving rural livelihoods through greater knowledge transfer and use of local agrobiodiversity, wherein private benefits may incentivise the public benefits of agrobiodiversity use and conservation. Findings warrant the need to further monitor and evaluate the potential of agrobiodiversity to improve the well-being of rural communities.

“…Management of Genetic Resources: FAO, together with CGIAR, have had responsibility for the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources, which is now an independent trust. b A recent independent evaluation notes that the agreement has had a positive impact on making the CGIAR centers' genetic resources available and suggests that more research is needed to see how the CGIAR collection could be made more accessible in view of climate change, political instability, and the need for adaptation to climate change adaptation (Gotor, Caracciolo, and Watts 2010). There is also need to conserve ex-situ biodiversity in tropical countries, which is being lost at a rapid rate.…”

Official development assistance (ODA) and domestic expenditures of developing countries on food and agriculture are often too small, relative to needs or for stimulating private investment. ODA and expenditures are suboptimally allocated mostly to subsidies, with little to public goods, such as agricultural education, research, and extension. Learning and evaluation of impacts need to improve and expand to meet complex challenges facing farmers. The multisectoral nature of agriculture means that agricultural financing must consist of multiple components, with resources that are public, private (household), and private (external to household), coming from six categories: public—domestic and international; private—domestic and international; and household—savings and remittances. Information on “traditional” ODA for agriculture is more available than for “nontraditional” ODA: for example, from emerging countries, including China’s growing involvement in Southern countries, private investments in value chains, land purchases, and private philanthropy. Aside from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), few philanthropists report aid to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development–Development Assistance Committee (OECD–DAC). BMGF’s Aid Transparency Index (ATI) rating improved only from “very poor” (18.1 percent) in 2013 to “fair” (47.3 percent) in 2018. The 2020 ATI reported significant improvement in aid donors’ overall transparency, but less in impact of aid projects. New themes, including nutrition and the environment, pose challenges to estimating sources of resource flows in support of adaptation of agriculture. We show that, even though available aid has increased since 2020, resources are very small relative to needs and the extent of advocacy.
