Launch of the new Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) website

The Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) initiative has launched a new website, www.asti.cgiar.org. ASTI, which is managed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), is one of the few available sources of agricultural R&D statistics in low- and middle-income countries. The initiative compiles, analyzes, and publicizes data on institutional developments, investments, and capacity in agricultural R&D at the national, regional, and global levels.

The tools and functionality of ASTI’s enhanced website make key information more user-friendly and readily accessible to stakeholders. In the future the website will be further expanded to include links to other data collections related to S&T in agriculture and food.

Features of the new ASTI website:
• Map, view, and compare agricultural S&T data from over 60 low and middle income countries
• Download and export national, regional, and global investment and capacity timeseries datasets
• Access the ASTI Website Directory, which provides links to a large and growing number of agricultural R&D agencies worldwide
• Download a vast array of national, regional, and global ASTI publications
