The ISARD Policy Roundtable Series (PRT) aims to inform policy in agricultural and rural development (ARD). It looks to apprise concerned stakeholders of evidence-based policy lessons/implications resulting from science-based studies and to provide a venue for in-depth discussion of the issue and said policy lesson/implication, particularly as it impacts the poor and vulnerable sectors. Policymakers, researchers, development workers, and the private sector are among the target participants and beneficiaries, with agricultural/rural communities as the ultimate beneficiaries.
