For many years the CGIAR centres have recognized the value of inter-centre and multi-institutional collaboration. They have established mechanisms for working closely with partner institutions within the CGIAR and with a large range of institutions in developing and developed countries. This is exemplified by the numerous and variednetworks and consortia involving CGIAR centres already in existence.

In 1999, the COSTBOX project was started to develop methodologies for effective introduction of decision support tools to African NARES, NGOs, and universities. The first major activity of the project was to conduct a survey on the causes of non adoption of systems analysis as a tool in agricultural decision-making. Results pointed to causes such as lack of involvement of clients in projects that attempt to introduce systems analysis, the fact that in many modeling projects the problem is defined in such a way that it fits the model instead of the other way round, the complexity of some...
The World Bank’s new rural development strategy calls for the “identification and scaling-up of good practice investments within a country, between countries, and between regions.

We also had access to some complementary documents, such as reports of meetings, and to information on the web pages of the programs or the Centers that lead them.
The possible expansion of agricultural land is limited to a few areas of South America and Africa, but the production potential of much of this unexploited land is likely to be marginal, due to inherent constraints of soil structure and rapid nutrient depletion. Production increases from fertile lands are also reported to be declining.
