      ab: The writer, in light of worsening malnutrition in tropical Africa, explains that the technological innovations necessary in the region could move more rapidly if institutional changes were made within the donor community and among African governments. Specifically, he proposes a means to document gains from past research so that innovators can be reimbursed proportionately to the gains they have facilitated. In a bid to elucidate the magnitude and time scale of the larger continent-wide challenge, he presents aggregate numerical evidence about long-terms trends across all of Africa in comparison with trends in other regions. He concludes that much more and better-targeted research and development for agriculture is crucial to the continent's economic future and the pursuit of the UN's Millennium Development Goals.
