This publication is an outcome of a symposium on agricultural development in Central Asia organized jointly by ICARDA and the Center for Development Research (ZEF) Bonn, Germany, held at the American Society of Agronomy, Soil Science Society of Agronomy, Soil Science Society of America, and Crop Science Society of America Annual Meeting in Indianapolis on 10-14 November 2002. Presentations at the symposium encompassed a range of issues from economic and structural to the biophysical aspects of agriculture, including soil resources, water management, cereal and legume crops, livestock and rangelands, biodiversity, conservation tillage and greenhouse gas flukes. The publication deals with the challenges to agricultural production mainly as a consequence of the transition from the centrally managed Soviet economy to independent market-led economies. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, academia, and policy makers with an interest in Central Asia
