Reviews
'Focusing on South Asia along with China and a few other countries, this book adopts an ingenious approach to agricultural innovation, almost reminiscent of the pioneering work by Ester Boserup, and the national innovation system from Nathan Rosenberg's early writings. The two editors have done a beautiful editorial job. The book should be a requisite reading for all scholars in this discipline.' -Donghyu Yang, Professor Emeritus, Seoul National University, South Korea 'National Innovation Systems for Agriculture in Asia; Towards Inclusive Rural Development, provides reasons why the research, technology and innovation extension systems in developed countries are not applicable to the models for inclusive and sustainable agricultural development in developing countries. It presents the theoretical and empirical studies of alternative thinking to achieve inclusive and sustainable agricultural development and public policy among developing countries. They cover a wide range of issues including the importance of education, technical skills and human capital, interactive learning in R&D, harnessing ICTs, and institutional innovation in India. This book, in its breadth and depth, makes a major contribution to arguing what is essential for agriculture innovation system in Asia.' -Ryuhei Wakasugi, Professor Emeritus, Kyoto University and President, University of Niigata Prefecture, Japan 'The volume consists of fifteen chapters and a brilliant introduction by the editors. Their interdisciplinary and diverse perspective increase the richness of the volume. The volume focuses on issues related to innovations, institutions, social capital, coordination, sustainability and inclusive rural transformation in the context of livelihood issues. I am sure that the volume will be very useful for researchers, faculty and policy makers in the Indian sub-continent.' -Kiran Pandya, Professor, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Surat, India
