Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators

ASTI’s mission is to provide up-to-date quantitative and qualitative data and subsequent analyses on investment, capacity, and institutional trends in agricultural research and development (R&D) in low- and middle-income countries that will assist R&D managers and policymakers in improved policy formulation and decision making at national, regional, and international levels. Informed policy decisions will have a positive impact on agricultural R&D systems and ultimately enhance productivity growth in agriculture, economic development, food security, and poverty reduction.  ASTI covers all developing regions of the world, including Africa.
