the value of productive assets. Credit linked with the development and introduction of riskdiffusing technology would be beneficial. The net nutritional impact of the new HYVs of wheat introduced in India in the mid-1960's was positive and substantial. This success clearly illustrates how a plant-breeding strategy which emphasizes increased yield potential can lead to significant improvements in aggregate nutritional well-being. 17
