The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) provides information on how agricultural knowledge, science and technology can be used to reduce hunger and poverty, improve rural livelihoods and human health, and facilitate equitable environmentally, socially and economically sustainable development. The full set of IAASTD reports includes a Global and five sub-Global reports and their respective summaries for Decision Makers as well as a Synthesis Report, including an Executive Summary.
