Impact analysis of MAS
To complement its scientific crop improvement research, the Generation Challenge Programme (GCP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) commissioned a series of socio-economic studies, including one entitled Ex-ante impact analysis of marker-assisted selection technologies by G. Norton and colleagues. The study was conducted in Africa and Asia to evaluate the quantitative impact and investments of two GCP projects which utilised marker-assisted breeding to develop improved varieties of rice and cassava.
