2016 GAP Report® Presentation
This document discusses strategies for sustainable agriculture and food security. It outlines five policy priorities: 1) investing in public agricultural research and extension, 2) embracing and disseminating science-based technologies, 3) establishing smart, science-based regulatory systems, 4) enhancing private sector involvement in agriculture and infrastructure, and 5) expanding regional and global trade. The goal is to use these strategies to productively manage agricultural cycles, meet growing global food demand, and mitigate climate change through increased productivity.

Editor's Notes
- #2 What is the GAP Report? Focus this year…
- #5 Begin every year with the Global Agricultural Imperative
- #10 Thank you, Margaret! The GAP Report explores practices that producers use for providing more food, feed, fiber and biofuels. Producers can increase their output by Expanding into new land areas, Intensifying the usage of inputs by using more fertilizer, machinery, and crop protection products. Extending irrigation to cropland that previously was rain fed. Or, in recent years, producers are adopting technologies and practices that result in more output from existing or even fewer resources, measured by Total Factor Productivity, or TFP.
