Abstract: The project "Accelerating Technology Adoption to Improve Rural Livelihoods in the Rainfed Eastern Gangetic Plains" jointly administered by CGIAR centers (IRRI, CIMMYT, and ICRAF), led to the production of this document. It contains three major sections (A) project implementation, which briefly describes how the project was implemented and the benefits of adopting the technologies selected for scaling up; (B) case stories, which recounts successful cases; and (C) Technical Advisory Notes (TANs), which covers diverse categories of technologies such as cropping systems, improved varieties, crop establishment methods, and nutrient management and technologies that provide supplementary income for landless and marginal farmers. This document will be useful in improving the livelihoods of the rural poor of South Asia.
