The Value Added of Higher Education in International (Agricultural) Development and the Role of U.S. Institutions Gary Pierzynski, Nina Lilja, David Frey, Sajid Alavi Kansas State University

What should be the priority areas for global agricultural development? Capacity building Sustainable agriculture production through consumption, including food, nutrition, and child development Youth development, including leadership, entrepreneurship, agricultural science A systems approach, intensifying agricultural output in sustainable context within resource limitations

Why do global agricultural systems need to be supported? Global food production/processing/distribution systems must increase to meet the demand (due to incr. population & income) Food insecurity reduces economic growth and leads to civil conflict Investment in agriculture is needed now (timelag of years for impact) U.S. assistance has a good record of success and brings economic returns to the U.S.

What is there for U.S.? Expansion of U.S. export markets Safety/quality of U.S. imports Access to int’l networks (germplasm, new varieties etc.) Internationalization of U.S. curricula and student experiences Cross-boundary issues: water/air quality, biodiversity, land preservation Political stability with international partners Investment in developing country agriculture reduces demand for U.S. aid assistance

Role of U.S. universities Can effectively deliver fundamentals of sustainable agricultural development: – Human capital development (youth, cohort training) – Research and technology transfer – Policy reform and institutional development – Form consortium partnerships (crop yields, growing environments, chemical pesticide use, nutrition, information technology) – Information technologies
