Implications of farming trends for agricultural research in mainland Southeast Asia
In the five countries of Mainland Southeast Asia (MSEA) that are the focus of this review, there is no questioning the importance of rice within the landscape, in the farming systems, in the diet, and even in cultural terms. Currently, an area of about 32 million ha is cultivated to rice each yea...

Demand for livestock products has been increasing through much of the semi-arid
tropics and will likely continue to increase along with the use of purchased feedstuffs. As
smallholder livestock systems evolve and become more market oriented, the type of diets
fed to livestock may change and the i...
