A Century-Long Perspective on Agricultural Development (2010, background): “Although much adaptive agricultural research is highly specific to particular agroclimatic regions, the resulting genetic material and especially basic research has had substantial international spillover effects (Alston et al. 2000; Evenson and Gollin 2003).”
