A strong agriculture sector is essential to economic development, and it is a pathway to increased income and poverty reduction for tens of millions of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable. Mathematica is studying solutions to many persistent constraints to agriculture development—including scarce water supplies, climate change, insecure land access, barriers to market access, and insufficient expertise to operate farms as profitable businesses.
