While mobilising public as well as private funds for innovation remains an important challenge, much can be achieved by better organisational set-up of the knowledge and innovation system to connect different stakeholders, make research and development more responsive to demand, and improve related collaboration across countries. The G20 initiative AMIS makes important contributions to enhancing transparency of market information for some key agricultural commodities. More could be done to develop and share information on the performance of agricultural technology and production systems, and information that is important for fundamental research on plant and animal breeding, as discussed at previous G20 Meetings of Agricultural Chief Scientists. Improving quality and accessibility of evidence-based information on innovative solutions for farmers and non-specialised users would also be important.
