Abstract

The paper, which was presented at the CIMMYT/IFPRI International Food Security Conference in Mexico in November, 1978, discusses those factors which influence variability in food grain yield. These include climatic change over time, infrastructure, particularly water control, agronomic practices and plant breeding. The role of technological change is emphasized. The study emphasizes rice, wheat and maize, the three major sources of energy and protein in LDCs. Some policy issues related to yield stability were examined
