As the world has changed during the past 50 years, so has agriculture. And so
has agricultural research, which continues to confront new challenges, from
food security to ecological concerns to land use issues. Indeed, as Guy
Paillotin, the former president of the French National Institute for
Agricultural Research (INRA) has noted, agricultural research “has reached new
heights in biology and is exploring other disciplines. It is forever changing,
as are the needs of the society”.

The changing challenges faced by agricultural research were examined in depth
at a conference organised by the OECD’s Co-operative Research Programme on
Biological Resource Management for Sustainable Agricultural Systems, together
with the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Agriculture. Participants came from all
agricultural sectors and included farmers, industry, scientists and decision
makers, as well as other stake holders.

This publication presents the twenty papers delivered at the conference. They
highlight recent major progress in agricultural research outcomes and address
the challenges that lie ahead.
