IFPRI researchers Patrick Ward and David Spielman presented their recent study at USAID webinar on February 26, 2014. The authors scans farmers’ willingness to pay for drought tolerant rice in three drought-prone districts in rural Bihar, India. Their findings shed light on how the gains from such technologies might be distributed among farmers, and have implications for future public and private sector R&D investments in drought tolerant technologies.
