ARD was defined as Agricultural Research generating knowledge to trigger Development (i.e. in countries of the South).
This definition also accounts for the fact that research, which is funded through ARD programmes, but does not contribute towards development and production in the South, may not meet the demand of the ARD definition and the MDGs.
1.1. ARD - Agricultural Research for Development - definitions
![Page 6: Activities in the frame of rural development and foodsecurity - Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) Sentinel-2 Preparatory Symposium, 25.03.2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb26c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1.2. ERA-ARD – Research coordination
ERA-ARD is an ERA-NET, i.e. a European coordination instrument .
Maximizing the EU contribution to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
2012: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and Turkey publish a call in support of ARD:
“Improving rural livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa: Sustainable and climate-smart intensification of agricultural production”

How can information contribute to
improved rural development ?
![Page 23: Activities in the frame of rural development and foodsecurity - Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) Sentinel-2 Preparatory Symposium, 25.03.2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062718/56649eac5503460f94bb26c1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In the words of the Agricultural
Innovation System (AIS, Worldbank)…
INTEGRATION & NETWORKING & OWNERSHIP
• An innovation system is a network of organizations and individuals bringing new products and new processes into economic use.
• Locating agricultural research within an AIS is a means of heightening the performance of research systems through improved articulation with demand, more effective institutional partnerships and better market integration.

Funding into Agriculture for Development is on the agenda and funding seems available.
But: the financial crisis causes instability in many institutions.
Maybe this is the time to come up with a road map for EO in support of rural development

Extrapolation for rural development ?
EO in cooperation with Food security
Statistics
a combination of data from RS and statistics provide a basis for extrapolation.
data on farming practices complement RS information.
