Responsibility of NARS:
To conduct research to develop and adapt technology and to participate in the transfer of
technology.

Advantages of NARS
Direct institutional /client linkages Close proximity to farmer’s problems Ability to collect field-level data
relatively inexpensively On-site staff and facilities Effective conduit for communicating
development strategy and policies to policy makers

Types of NARS
Publicly supported (centralized) Collaborative federal/state agricultural
research systems (decentralized ) Endowed research institutes Agricultural Universities Private sector research institutes Non-governmental Organizations Multinational, regional research
institutes

Publicly supported (centralized)
Systems that are dependencies of , controlled by, and receive their financial support from the Ministry of Agriculture or other ministry in the federal government.
Examples: Brazil: Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuaria
(Embrapa) Kenya: Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) Pakistan: Pakistan Agricultural Research Council
(PARC)

Embrapa coordinates the National Agricultural Research System with cooperated institutions carrying out research in geographical areas or in defined fields of scientific knowledge.
Networking through 37 research units. 2 045 researchers.
47% master's
49% Ph D’s

Collaborative federal/state agricultural research systems
(decentralized ) Systems that channel federal, state, private
sector, and producers(commodity associations) funding to semi-autonomous state level research and extension programs.
Programs are commodity linked with disciplinary, cross commodity programs
Research/extension linkage: close, assembling/adapting technology to producers’ needs.
Example: Mexico: INIFAP
