Historically, Indonesia's dramatic poverty reduction was driven by progress in agriculture and agriculture continues to be a potent driver of growth and poverty alleviation. Agricultural sector growth strongly induces non-agricultural sector growth in rural areas, particularly through demand for locally produced and services. Agricultural sector productivity growth (along with price changes) has remained the most important way out of poverty. To shift agriculture along these dimensions, Indonesia needs to transition from its current and ineffective public stance, growing subsidies and selective output protection, to a more aggressive provision of public goods and services that build support systems for farmers to achieve continuous productivity gains. This will require an enabling agriculture policy environment, significant improvement in the delivery of services, agricultural research and extension in particular, and supporting enabling investments, which will encourage small farmers to move to high value agricultural activities. This will boost employment and raise incomes in rural areas while creating a bigger rural market with greater trade and investment opportunities.CC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC INSTITUTIONSACIARADAPTIVE RESEARCHADBADVANCED TRAININGADVISORY COMMITTEESAGRIBUSINESSAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITYAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL DIVERSIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONAGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONSAGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGEAGRICULTURAL KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMAGRICULTURAL POLICYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL R&DAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL RESEARCH PROJECTSAGRICULTURAL SCIENCEAGRICULTURAL SCIENCESAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGIESAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGYAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERAGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITYAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE POLICYAGRICULTURE RESEARCHAGRONOMYANIMAL BREEDINGANIMAL FEEDSANIMAL HUSBANDRYANIMAL NUTRITIONANIMAL PHYSIOLOGYANIMAL SCIENCEAPPLICATION OF SCIENCEAPPLIED RESEARCHASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANKBEEFBIBIOTECHNOLOGYBREEDINGBUSINESS PARTNERSHIPSCAPACITY BUILDINGCASSAVACERTIFICATION SYSTEMCGIARCLIMATE CHANGECOCONUTCOFFEECOMMODITIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCORNCOTTONCROPCROP PHYSIOLOGYCROP PROTECTIONCROP RESEARCHCROP SCIENCEDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEGREESDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDISCIPLINESDISEASE CONTROLDISEASESECONOMICSEMPLOYMENTENTOMOLOGYEQUIPMENTEXCHANGE RATEEXTENSION SERVICESFAOFARMER SURVEYSFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFARMSFEEDFERTILIZERSFISHFISH PRODUCTIONFISHERIESFOOD CROPSFOOD CROPS RESEARCHFOOD SECURITYFOOD SHORTAGESFORESTRYFRUITSFUTURE RESEARCHGENETIC ENGINEERINGGENETIC RESOURCESGENETICSGREEN HOUSESGREEN REVOLUTIONHARVESTHIGHER EDUCATIONHORTICULTURAL CROPSHOUSINGHUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMESINNOVATIONINTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENTINTEGRATIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSINTELLECTUAL RIGHTSINTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHINTERNATIONAL RICE RESEARCH INSTITUTEINTERNATIONAL SERVICE FOR NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHIRRIIRRIGATIONISNARKNOWLEDGE USELABORATORLABORATORIESLEARNINGLIVELIHOODSLIVESTOCKMARKETINGMICROBIOLOGYMOAMOLECULAR BIOLOGYMONOCULTURENATIONAL ACCREDITATIONNATIONAL RESEARCHNATURAL RESOURCESNGOSPALM OILPEANUTPEER REVIEWPESTICIDEPESTICIDESPESTSPLANT PESTSPLANT SCIENCEPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOTATOPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCTION TECHNIQUESPROGRAMMINGQUALITY ASSURANCERESEARCH AGENDARESEARCH CENTERSRESEARCH COLLABORATIONRESEARCH COOPERATIONRESEARCH DESIGNRESEARCH ENVIRONMENTRESEARCH EXCELLENCERESEARCH FINDINGSRESEARCH FUNDINGRESEARCH GRANTSRESEARCH INSTITUTESRESEARCH INSTITUTIONSRESEARCH LITERATURERESEARCH MANPOWERRESEARCH METHODSRESEARCH NETWORKSRESEARCH PARTNERSHIPSRESEARCH PERFORMANCERESEARCH PROGRAMSRESEARCH RESULTSRESEARCHERSRICERICE RESEARCHRURAL DEVELOPMENTSCHOOLSSCIENTIFIC CULTURESCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSCIENTIFIC RIGORSCIENTISTSSEEDSSHEEPSOCIOLOGYSOIL BIOLOGYSOIL CONSERVATIONSOIL FERTILITYSOILSSTAFF DEVELOPMENTSUGARSUGAR PRODUCTIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE FINANCINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICIANSTECHNOLOGY ADOPTIONTECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENTTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTOXICOLOGYTRAINING NEEDSTUBERSUNIVERSITIESURBANIZATIONVEGETABLESVETERINARY SCIENCEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/6235
